Vampire Crown

Glossy black spires rise in jagged points, each one traced with gel-red drips that look like fresh blood catching the light. Charity Grace builds the frame from wire, wraps it in bakeable polymer clay, then sculpts filigree swirls and layered points before finishing with spray paint and gel nail polish for that wet, glistening blood effect. The clay cures into flexible plastic, so the finished crown bends to fit your head perfectly.
