• Clay Padparadscha Sapphire! •

I love all of the new Gems (except maybe Green Zircon), but Padparadscha really stood out from the rest! I love her self-confidence and positivity, and I fully the theory that she represents people with special needs. She's such an adorable character that I had to make my own clay figure of her!

Time taken: About 3 hours (at least 15 minutes trying to get the mouth to look right)

Supplies used: Crayola Air-dry clay, knife, acrylic paints, paintbrushes, Sharpie pen (for details), china glue (to attach the head)

To get the right colors for this, I had to do A LOT of mixing. While trying to get the tan-ish color for the skirt, I accidentally squirted quite a bit of green into the red paint, but it actually got me to the perfect color!

For the red in the skirt, I had to use 15 DROPS OF RED just to even out ONE drop of black (・-・;)
