Some testing on vinyls goes further than I originally imagined

I had acquired a black clear through blind box trading, not being really sure what I wanted to do with it I started using it as a tester for ideas, it was the first time I'd used sculpey on a vinyl and for accessories, and using an air drying clay to make a base. I went a little crazy making patterns in the sculpey on the vinyl and ended up grabbing some crumpled up tin foil and started pressing it onto the sculpey. it had a weird kind of rocky feel to it so I grabbed some beads and jewels and started pressing them onto the form too. It wasn't long before the idea to make it look like a lump of jewel encrusted coal from a mine and the ideas spiralled from there. I made a base to go with it and a turned over wheelbarrow with more jewels spilling out of it. I called it my diamond in the rough, a nod to Snow White and a little to Aladdin for the name lol
