Hello, How are you? I am not the only one who likes Kamote Que especially when it has a lot of caramelized sugar in it that is the reason why I always buy one before I always eyeing for that one so now I can cook it on my own but the funny thing I can make it as a keychain too... LOL yeah, I will make a keychain made out of polymer clay. hehe

By the way, excuse me for the quality of the photos because a few days ago I decided to touch my phone's main lens, and now it has become like this I can't clean it anymore looks like it has a bokeh effect on it. But nothing going to stop me now LOL I might buy a new phone or If the lens I bought will fit on my phone camera lens cross the finger for this. It is hard to let go of this phone's camera quality is a bomb.

I bought new polymer clay so I have a lot of stock with me right now I have a lot of ideas in my mind about what to do with it so I hope you will like this one.

  • Polymer Clay
  • Glass Sheet
  • Pliers
  • Toothpick
  • X Acto Knife
  • Brush
  • Clay Tools
  • UV Resin
  • Mask
  • Weighing Scale
  • Keychain
  • Gloves
  • Uv Light
  • Cotton Buds
  • Alcohol
  • Glass Container
  • Colored Sand
  • Soft Pastel


The Process:

1.jpg

First, I condition the clay until it is well combined. By the way, I use pale yellow with this one.


2.jpg

Then I weighed clay using my mini portable weight scale each clay weighing 1 gram.

And then I sculpt them with the shape of cut Kamote. Then I grab a toothpick which serves as the BBQ stick for the clay.


4.jpg

There are three pieces of Kamote-shaped clay. They are ready to be textured and colored.

But before that, I need to add texture to the clay first using this pointing tool.


8.jpg

I see some fine dust so I clean the clay first with alcohol and cotton buds.

Using soft pastel and brush I shade the polymer clay like the real kamote cue. As you can see "How come this is Kamote Que?" it will in a second after it got baked the magic will happen LOL.

Before I bake the clay I added the eye pin in first.


16.jpg

17.jpg

It is ready to be baked, I bake it as the instructions on the packaging say.


18.jpg

Now I have a baked Kamote Keychain, as you can see it became matte after baking.


Adding the Caramelize Sugar effect:

20.jpg

First I grab a soft pastel that is close to color or caramelized sugar and scrape it on the foil.


21.jpg

And then I added the UV Resin.


22.jpg

Then I mix it until well combined.


23.jpg

The mixture is ready.


24.jpg

I have colored sand on the side which will serve as the caramelized sugar.


25.jpg

Now, I am going to add the colored resin to the clay.


26.jpg

I observed that most of the caramelized sugar stayed on the side of the food so that is what I did.


27.jpg

It should look like this.


28.jpg

Now this is the best part adding the melted sugar which is the colored sand I just sprinkled onto the colored resin.


29.jpg

It should look like this.


30.jpg

I do the same thing on the other side. It is ready to be cured.


31.jpg

32.jpg

I then cure it with UV Lamp I make sure to rotate the clay so it will cure the UV Resin evenly.


33.jpg

And then I run it to the UV lamp more to cure it completely.


Time to add the Keychain:

34.jpg

I first put in the jump ring.


35.jpg

Next is the keychain.


37.jpg

And then close the jump ring with two pliers.

Walaahh~ Mini Kamote Que. The most enjoyable part is adding the caramelized sugar to it, it makes it realistic.
