#9993 HELMET PIN

PROCESS: These pins are all created and painted by hand. Polymer clay is used and rolled to a thin sheet, and then the shape of the pin is cut out. Once cut out, the clay is baked. After coming out of the oven, and once cooled the clay is smoothed out and sanded. Once smooth, that is when painting begins. Every pin is painted by hand, so there will be differences between every pin, but that makes each one unique. After being painted, that is when the UV resin coating is added to both the front and back of the clay base to give it a glossy look and protective layer. Finally, when the UV resin is cured, the pin is completed and ready to be sent to its new home.

MADE OF: polymer clay, acrylic paint, UV resin
