Fish Charms

My younger cousin needed a bunch of stuff to fill his treat bags for his class party. All he had in his bags were some mismatched Pink Pearl erasers and random mints- you know that last minute scramble for gifts when you have nothing kid-friendly in the house! So, in like an hour, I managed to make a few charms (aquatic ones at that) to add some color to his stash. Here they are!
Here's my quick lobster and long fish- I'm not scientific and picky with fish names at all! People who can do that are amazing! And yeah, photo bomb by that random thermometer in the back that I was too lazy to remove.

Three mini green fish. All I did for these was roll out eye balls, flattened the eyeballs, made larger green balls, flattened them, and sort of press my nails into the butt of the ball to form lazy tails (: I drew the eyes with a black felt tip marker, but anything will work.

I love these easy to make fish. I made blue balls, then flattened the back to make a kind of tail that taper towards the end. I made three, but apparently the third was hiding when it came time for a photo.

 These larger fish are made from large balls with Mohawks- as you can see.
 Snails- they have shells (which I created from rolling a thick piece of cold porcelain). The eyes are held up by wire pieces. One of the snails is leaning on his friend because it can't stand on its own, yet.
 Trio of fish- complete with semi- translucent fins, eyes, and the things on the tops of their heads (I was too lazy to mix any white coloring into the fins and head thingies and eyeballs).
Group photo! Yeah, that thermometer is still there!
Random peach ice cream drink charm I made a fw weeks ago. I made the drip effect with white glue drizzled over the ice cream.

Love cold porcelain-dries to a hard enough texture in 5 minutes! By everyone.
