Pumpkins and Orange Slices

The weather has been pretty chilly lately and all the leaves have started changing colors! I've been getting into the fall mood by sculpting lots of miniature pumpkins! 

These 1:12th scale pumpkins look like they're just out of the pumpkin patch!

This jack o' lantern preparation board was a fun challenge to work on. The pumpkin guts took lots of tries to get right!

I've also been working on orange slices, these were pretty tricky to sculpt because they are so tiny! I have yet to experiment with making whole and half peeled oranges. :)

I hope you're having a fantastic week! 

A Few Miniatures

Today I'm sharing a few miniatures I haven't shown on my blog yet. If you follow me on Instagram you might have already seen these. :)

Three miniature fall pumpkins just out of the pumpkin patch, maybe they're going to be made into spooky jack 'o lanterns for Halloween!

Close up.

This is a miniature basket I wove out of paper a while back, it was loads of fun to create and I'm very interested in experimenting more with mini basket weaving!

Now this is a recent miniature basket I finished this week, made out of wire and thread. I am going to continue to practice with the wire for weaving, I have lots of idea's!

Last but not least two mini cheese pizza slices I sculpted a few weeks ago. :)

Have a great Saturday!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I've spent this past month slowly creating a collection of miniature themed foods for a big banquet to celebrate Halloween! I was hoping to post my tiny celebration on Halloween but I was so busy at a real life party and lots of trick or treating that I didn't have the time. But better late then never! I am really excited about this and I learned a lot while making all of these miniature foods and I had a lot of fun! So without further ado here is the feast!

 I imagine the ghost pops to have a cakey texture inside and the "ghost" part to be white frosting with melted chocolate chips for the eyes and mouths!

The cookie fingers in the cup were inspired from a Martha Stewart Halloween magazine. They were one of my favorites to make!

These are chocolate marshmallow ghosts. These actually don't have any polymer clay in them! I mixed some all purpose baking flour and acrylic paint together and then just put some of the mixture onto tinfoil and baked it at 250F. for five minutes. Its a great substitute for frosting if you don't have any Translucent Liquid Sculpey or  Liquid Fimo around!

The ghost cookies were probably the smallest thing I have ever sculpted in polymer clay. The reason some of their eyes are a little messed up is because they had an unfortunate fall off my desk after they had been made and then I ended up squishing a few with my feet while trying to find them all!

My dollhouse family wishes you a happy Halloween!!
