For this round, I used a medium golden brown to add mid-tones to the casts.
Painting cones
The first round of paint is an ivory black/ burnt sienna mix I brushed into the details. This layer will create shadows and texture that will show through the upper layers. Next up, airbrushing midtones.
Can froyo eat cupcakes?
Making tiny cupcakes while the Froyo Fellas watch :)
First froyo fella prototype!
I might tweak the colors a little.
He lives!
The first fro-yo cast was successful! Next I’ll be experimenting with different colors and painting techniques so I can plan a color scheme for the edition. Yay!
Fro-yo progress
I use a sandable primer to fill in any imperfections and get the surface super smooth. I usually use black so I can see where I’ve already been. Done with the wet sanding, ready for a sealer coat, and then off to the mold making stage!

Working on some Fro-Yo Fellas <3
Making some progress on the cake cone for a future edition of little fro-yo fellas. I like to apply the epoxy clay in layers, letting it cure between work sessions so that I can work on small areas at a time without damaging the overall piece.
