Personalized Chess Set
Difficulties - No huge difficulties, except for stupid Princess Peach. Making ridiculous cartoon hair three dimensional was a pain the bum. Stupid Peach. Also, pugs are not easy. But I was happier with them than I was with Peach.

I made this as a Christmas gift for my brother and sister-in-law, all made from polymer clay. I made bases for each side, (blue, gray and black for his and red, brown and orange for hers, ) and based all the pieces off their interests. His included handlebar mustaches, the Hitchhiker's Guide logo, Adventure Time characters, and a piece based off one of his drawings. Hers included balls of yarn, dress forms, laptop computers, and pirate flags. And for their kings and queens, he had Mario and she had Princess Peach, and he had a fawn pug and she had a black pug. In total, I was really, really pleased with how it all came out, and I would love to make more for other people.
