UPDATE: Please see the drawing *kimchikawaii made inspired by this pendant!

Entry for the Halloween Contest at :idevClay-Charm-Lovers:. I know that I say this a lot... but I think this is one of the best things I've ever done. I really love how this turned out! This is also the first time I make a figurine that actually looks good.

I wanted to make something for the Halloween contest at #Clay-Charm-Lovers, but I didn't want to make anything too cartoony... I can't make anything in that style that doesn't look lame. Also, I didn't want to make anything too traditional because I wanted my submission to be unique. So I went for something a bit less literal and a bit more sophisticated. The only problem was that I didn't know what to make with those characteristics :slow:

Then my boyfriend (who is my greatest source of inspiration) told me to make a Mondkatze pendant. I thought it was perfect, and this is the result. I decided to use Buba as my cat-model, because nothing says Halloween like a black cat! I used dark blue sparkly clay to resemble a starry sky, and sadly my camera didn't pick up how shining the silver is. I finally remembered to take reference photos! :la: You can see how tiny the cat is xD

I used Buba as my model!

The pendant was an immediate success in my family. My mom and sister already asked me to make some for them, my mom wants me to make Paka, my sister wants me to make Buba, and I'm making Kira for myself. So I think I'm going to make one for each of my cats xD

I want to thank =Nilanja for helping me with the name. She confirmed Mondkatze is correct, or at least not aberrant :giggle:



Would you like to commission a Mondkatze?


I'm accepting commissions for this, I can customize the moon with any combination of colors you want, or make it flat instead of textured, round, shiny, anything! If you send me reference photos I will also make an exact miniature copy of your own cat or any cat you want. You can read my commission info here and my pricelist here.



My boyfriend and I have made up tons of cute stories about us living in the Moon and creating our ideal world. Since we both love cats and identify a lot with them, eventually the term "Mondkatze" (Mooncat) surged - it's in German because we both study German and we like to speak in German between us to practice.
