Clay Sculpture | Making of "Mycologia Fantastica"

[@N3rdyG1rl]

I really love her expression. She looks vaguely haunted, like she has seen too much or is thinking back on a bad memory in a daydream like way. At least that's what I see when I look at the sculpture.

[@shumakerart]

Thank you so much!! I can definitely see that- Let's hope she's not haunted though I have enough bad luck 🤣🤣🤣

[@tanaisacaldwell8140]

@@shumakerart what do you use as the base , to look like that , to keep it standing and not falling over ?

[@sylviaonn4024]

I see that also

[@hillarycolmenares107]

This is the best clay sculpture I've seen in my life, you blew life to it

[@shumakerart]

Aww so very kind! Thank you!!

[@TheMeister31]

@@shumakerart Hello do you bake the clay so it hardens? Or does it air dry? Very interested in the whole process

[@cherlyza9354]

have you seen Tina Yu sculptures on youtube? her sculptures are also magical ❤️

[@skyounkin]

Sublime and beautiful!! I would love to take this and just place it off in the woods somewhere w/ a hidden camera just to see if anyone found and how they would react. BUT they would probably just steal it...

[@shyPandemonium]

Your use of color is amazing. I would’ve gone overboard with a project like this and made very exotic colored mushrooms that would’ve clashed with her skin and would’ve been overbearing. These are subtle colors that make sense to the piece. Very nice work.

[@shumakerart]

Thank you so much!! I had to pull some colors out at some point I started to get a little crazy rainbow (edited that part out though) lol!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this, thank you for the kind words!

[@shyPandemonium]

@@shumakerart lol glad to see I’m not the only one who has the urge to do crazy colors 😅 and no problem, keep up the good work!

[@NineEyedOracle]

I want to own this sculpture more than words can even say. I don't know if I've ever been so in love with a sculpture before 😍❤

[@shumakerart]

This is so incredibly kind- thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!!

[@vinicoutinho]

I kind of envy talented artists that are good looking. Great work by the way!

[@tiffanymcdaniel6099]

Very beautiful work! Her features are gorgeous.

[@zombiefriedchicken]

I never comment on videos but I had to on this. This just blew my mind!! I'm so in love with it. Please keep doing videos like this

[@shumakerart]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it- definitely plan on doing many more !

[@alimay4342]

You know you're extremely talented when you can make a clay sculpture have so much emotion and tell a story with their eyes, this is truly breath taking 10/10 work as always

[@kellyromana4901]

Absolutely stunning. As a novice mushroom forager in the UK who has found literally NOTHING this year, I am envious of the trail you described in Florida 😩 I wish I knew someone so talented who would make me something like this.

Omg this is how look a druid from the circle of the spores! 💜💜💜💜 I love it!!

[@ericlecarde]

Stunning beyond belief

[@magistra137]

She is stunning. It would be a privilege to be able to see her in person at a museum some day. Your video is very good but to really feel the depth and details I would like to see her in person. So complex and interesting - thank you!

Thank you- this means the world to me! :-)

[@alisonlayne8214]

So gorgeous. I love it. The colors that you blended to make it have such a soft apperance. I've always been fascinated with the way mushrooms, wood, and greenery look. The way that they mix together obe taking from the other. They ar e so wonderfull to look at.

[@lyn.n06]

[@coraliacries]

this is stunning

[@karlyswords3928]

This is absolutely stunning! You can see all the care and detail you put into it. 💕 A potential idea for another sculpture could be the use of another element such as rock, metal or fire. I like they way you’ve used the mushrooms in this piece, the flowers in Midsommar Pewdiepie and the fish in koi piece. I think that would be an interesting concept since your pieces are so beautifully organic and have this fantasy-esque vibe

[@shumakerart]

Oooo I love this idea!! I really hope to work with metal very,very soon! It's on my to do list. thank you so much for the kind words, for watching and the suggestion! :-)

[@Ae-jq5wb]

Wow! Amazing piece n.n I'm not good at sculpture, but I like so much to see talented people's works.

[@shumakerart]

This makes me so happy- thank you for watching Karlo! :-)

[@RD9_Designs]

It turned out absolutely beautiful! I love the fantastical elements and the frostbite elements, right down to the rosy skin and capillaries! What comes to mind as far as suggestions, the face of the weeping willow. I am a fairly new sub (I think), so would you tell me what kind of clay you use? Would love to see more of your sculpting process... would you consider adding them to your videos?

[@ichiban6004]

So beautiful , you are so incredibly talented !!

[@shumakerart]

Thank you thank you!!! Very kind :-)

[@everyoneknowsitslindy6074]

This is absolutely stunning!!! It's inspiring me to start sculpting as well! I don't know if anyone else has said this, but I wonder what it would look like with the sculpture blended into the bottom of the wood instead of just a defined line? As if she's growing out of it? And maybe a third piece in the back that's growing out of the bottom just 2 or 3 inches behind her left shoulder and peaking out a tiny bit above her left shoulder and tapering down to the middle of her back...if that makes sense. But amazing. Very talented, practiced, and creative individual!

[@koffinkat666]

Incredible work, Insanely beautiful

[@shumakerart]

Thank you so much! :-)

[@aleksandramarczuk]

Amazing artwork 🤍

[@sarahsnotsara]

This is fantastic and I’m so so obsessed with how you pulled inspiration from your surroundings. What kind of clay did you use for this piece?

[@AdrianVenti]

Solo puedo decir que te admiro demasiado y tú arte es totalmente increíble ❤️
