Severed Hand Phone Holders are in Production.
Thanks to Sarah and Adam along with Lisa in pre-Ordering and sponsoring the Severed hand phone holder project.
The final pieces will include a silicon stabilizer pad for the hands to rest on.
The first two Severed zombie hand phone holders have been cast, cleaned, primed, painted and sealed. The Severed Zombie hands are on their way to their owners.
We are painting the Severed Hand Phone Holders to have the look of something that has been dead for awhile with not any “life” left in it. The Severed hand Phone holders are given a primer and base coat then several dry brush coats.
If you’d like to see something different in the paint job of the Severed Zombie Hand phone holder just ask and we should be able to accommodate you.

The Severed Hand Phone holders are cast in resin and can be used to hold things other than your phone. If you are looking for a creepy business card holder the Severed Hand Business Card Holder would work just as well.
The hands also come with a silicon nesting pad for the hands to make sure the severed hand phone holders are balanced and able to support your phone without rolling about on the table/desktop
The Severed Zombie hands will be in the store shortly. If you have any questions send us a message..
2020 workin on things and things Severed Zombie Hand Phone Holder
We started a pre order and build sponsors on our Severed Zombie Hand Phone Holder. The sculpt is done so the hand is ready to be molded.
There are still 4 pre order pricing spots open right on the Severed Hand phone holder build so if you have any questions let us know or head on over to the store page and pre order it today.
We put the two beta test build Severed Hands for sale over on etsy, They are also being sold at a lower price point at this time.
This was the first test hand and while it was not what i wanted it works really great to hold business cards in the pinched fingers.
The Second severed hand was also not quite right and the mold worked for a single casting. Yet again the severed hand turned out cool however so we finished it off to be used for your keys or a ring or for any other thing you can use a zombie severed hand for.
I sculpted the end of this Severed hand so it could be sat up right as well
We also have started our Patreon if you would like to join the ranks head on over and check out the options we have. Become a Patron!
Yep we are still here.
If you are finding the site after finding us at a show we do most of our posting over on FB and fail to update here as much as we should.
We will be looking to add more things to the store VS listing over on ETSY so if you saw something of ours at a show or on FB and you would like to order one please send us a message and let us know.
Thanks for finding us and be sure to keep an eye on FB for build and show listings.
I’m horrible at this keeping your website updated thing
I’m the worst at this website update stuff. You can find more posts and current projects over at https://www.facebook.com/clauderaymonddesign/.
My open heart surgery at the beginning of the year knocked me out of action for about 3 months or so and i’m just starting to get back into the groove of things.
Jen has stuck her toes into the sculpting pond and we have a couple of her designs with us at shows now. Look for some new Hair Clips, Hair Pins and unicorn horn jewelry. I’ve cooked up a little biting dragon to hang on your ear and a couple other critters.
I’ll just stick a bunch of photos below of things that have been created this year and that you can now find with us at shows.
If you see something you like send me and email.
This is Durp. Jen’s daughter Corin tossed ideas at me and this is what it ended up looking like
I’ve started to make unicorn horn tips for sale in display boxes and i also started to make some display boxes for my half horn castings. I also sold my large Dragon tooth so i’ve cooked up and decided to cast and hand finish new ones.
Need to keep your hair under control? We have a couple Dragons to help you out.
I also have a little dragon to hang off your ear.
A new batch of shoulder goblins came out this year as well. I’ll see if i can get some more cooked up.
I also made a fairy to trap in cages this year.
A couple new imps where cast and a new brainy smurf was created.
And jen has cooked up some pendants and earrings.
And lastly my first art doll attempts. They mostly worked out… mostly. I’m working on 2.0 now.
Now we shall see if I post an update in November.
Back at it finally.
I have been lax with the old website posts since Facebook makes it so darn easy to post there. However Since I’m closing Etsy down due to their implementation of Etsy Pay and their requirements of making vendors use it. They also are changing listing programming that will give higher volume sellers higher listings.. This means Made In China will get listed way higher than Independent Artists and Makers.
So onto what I have been cooking up as of late. I have several new things that are at shows with me now and that i’m working on to get some listed here.
Let’s start with my New Cyclops Babies. These guys are Not OOAK as they are Hand Finished castings of my Original Design. I took inspiration from the old 7th Voyage of Sinbad.I didn’t like the 2 finger look so I added a third and I also decided I wanted to make him fury. So my little fella has hair on his head and hair on his upper arms. This allows me to make him fully poseable and a little cuter.
Next up we have my New Gift Giver Goblins. These were designed to originally hold a ring or trinket of your choosing, however the also come with a precious stone of their own.
I just also finished a companion piece for the Gift Giver Goblin that is called the Pyro Goblin. He sits in awe of the fire and smoke coming from in incense cone that is buring in the saucer in front of him. GingerlyTwisted is making the saucers for me and I will have them with me at my next shows.
The Shoulder Dragons are also new for 2017 and come with a counter magnet that you place under your shirt. I should have started by saying the Shoulder Dragons Have magnets in their butts as well. I generally have 4 base colors at shows Blue, Green, Yellow and Red. I can however make them in any color scheme. The bodies of these are castings and the wings are all made with neoprene rubber and semi-poseable. All of these Pieces are hand finished.
As a reminder I also have my Dragon Keepers and can also do custom pant request on them. This one wasn’t a custom order but is not one of my standard pieces.. I had the paint there so i made a Pink one. The Dragon Keeper will watch over you dice or counters and keep the riff raff from touching them.
The Rare and often stepped on Horned Trenching Moles will be showing up at my mid year shows. These are hand finished castings from my original design so they don’t really qualify as OOAK in the One OF A KIND kinda sense.. Below is my beta test build out with my castings. He turned out well and 4 more are in the pipeline being finished.
These are the original sculpts of some future Mini Trophy Plaques. They will be molded and cast so the price point can stay low on them.
I have also added some Small EyeBall Flower Vases to my local Shows they have “faux” water in the vases to add a little extra to them.
I’ve added a Unicorn Horn to my offerings that has blood about the tip of it. This is inspired by one of “The Hunt of the Unicorn” tapestries. You can see a hunting hound is getting stuck in one of them.
This is my first test finish on my new Should Imp. He has a magnet in his but so he can whisper not so sweet nothings in your ear. This is a hand finished casting with custom hand made wings for each piece.
My Woodland Goblins made their debut at the end of last year and they have multiplied a little. They are hand finished castings with several hair types and eyes types.
Second to last is an experiment that I will see how they go at Origins this year. It is my Cthulhu Ear Squid. I only have the Right Ear made at this time as i’m just testing the waters right now. It took 4 test builds to finally find a concept that was pretty much universal and would work for almost anyone’s ear. They wrap over your ear and a small piece also rest in your ear a little.
Finally we end with the first picture of my almost finished BugBear Trophy Plaque. He has yet to be giving a name and I have lots of tiny little details left to do to him.. But he finally looks like a The BugBear that he is meant to be.
The End of June will be spent moving my Etsy Items over to this store and adding some other pieces to the storefront as well.. I’m working on inventory for shows and online so things don’t have to be unlisted from the store while i have them at shows.
Ohh, one last piece I did for a friend.. I make little pocket bobble heads and this is a version of them.. It’s a take on the House Elf… he also has a very basic set of legs that can be installed if she wants.. He is just sitting in my dice bag in the pic.
