Sculpting a Literal Heart for Valentine’s Day… Polymer Clay with a Dark Twist

What happens when romance meets a little bit of darkness? You get My Bloody Valentine, of course! As part of the incredible collaboration organised by Dragon in Dresses Craftsortium, we went all out creating a resin sculpture that’s equal parts heartfelt and haunting.

Our piece features a character literally “giving his heart away”—a perfect mix of sweet, eerie, and totally mesmerising. Whether you’re a fan of unconventional Valentine’s vibes or you love a good storytelling sculpture, this project is one for the books.

The Video

Step into our craft room and watch as this heartfelt sculpture comes to life. From designing the character and sculpting his details to pouring resin and creating the gory-yet-beautiful heart effect, we captured every step of the process. Trust us, you don’t want to miss how this labour of love turned out!

Closing Thoughts

This project was such a creative journey, and we absolutely adored putting a dark twist on the classic Valentine’s theme. Creating a sculpture with so much emotion and detail was challenging but oh-so rewarding. It’s proof that even the most macabre concepts can be beautifully heartfelt.
