Trilogy Media lovingly looking down on my little aphids.
Cute aphid actually.

What is it, what is it? Probably spring “migrantes”.

Ceramiclay struggles
It IS the goddamn material. Years after my first try with ceramiclay ended in the material refusing to take on any acrylic color at all, I think I have figured it out. They told me, I don’t need any primer. But three days ago I primed the very first ceramiclay figure I ever made and now the color actually sticks!
Now I just gotta learn how to paint anything.

Graphosoma italicum
Nothing wrong with trying out a new medium, everything wrong with the medium refusing to work the way it does according to the packaging. This is the third time, I’ve tried using Keramiplast to make a little thing and we are all very excited to find out if acrylic paint will stick to it as soon as it is dried.
Graphosoma italicum is a very colorful shield bug I first spotted two years ago. With its black and orange stripes and the carefree attitude a lot of shield bugs show, it is true pleasure to look at, stumbling around on flowers, drunk on nectar and pollen.
