Although they may have dark associations, black cats can be so adorable, right? It&#8217;s not about their color &#8230; the black cat has gotten a bad rap, just because some superstitious humans decided they represented bad luck. Poor kitties.<\/p>\n<p>This crafter goes by Umay Designs, and nothing else (apparently this week is going to be about both dark and mysterious things!) but I did find out that she hails from Turkey. There is not a lot of information but her designs are interesting, and certain to inspire if you are still looking to whip up some appropriate Halloween adornment. I&#8217;m not sure there is any polymer clay in here, but hey, it&#8217;s still a cool piece and we get to talk kitties this week! For materials, she primarily lists resin, both cast and sculpted, so I am thinking it is something like two-part epoxy and casting resin. It could easily be done with just polymer though, but casting your sculptures after you&#8217;ve made a good piece to start with is a smart business decision.<\/p>\n<p>So you can see if you&#8217;re inspired by any of her cool and creepy ideas by dropping by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/umaydesign\">her Etsy shop<\/a> or following her on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/umaydesigns\/?hl=en\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adorable cat necklace made of resin by Umay Designs.
