Miniature Carrot Cake

Happy Easter! In celebration of spring I sculpted a miniature carrot cake!

I painted the miniature plate light green with white polka dots for a spring look and I also painted Easter chicks on my nails - you can see the tip of it off to the right hand side.

This is a double layer carrot cake with vanilla icing and miniature marzipan carrots on top!

Olaf from Frozen: Pendant Tutorial

This week I made an Olaf charm from the movie Frozen. Frozen is my all time favorite Disney princess movie and Olaf is a cute snowman who dreams of summer! I took photos of the painting process for a simple tutorial. :)

"I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!"

I started off by sculpting a base out of white polymer clay and stuck a head-pin through so I can attach it to a necklace chain later.

I then painted the background with blue acrylic paint and  painted the outline of Olaf with white paint.

Here I added some shading around his mouth and cheeks with a light grey acrylic paint mix (white with a tiny bit of black) .

Here I just added his tooth with white paint and shaded a bit around it.

In this photo I painted on his eyes and eyebrows, using black acrylic paint for the eyes and a burnt umber/brown for the brows.

Here I added his carrot nose and twig hair, using the brown I used for his eyebrows mixed with a little black for the hair and a mix of yellow and red paint for his nose.

I finished off with a couple coats of Martha Stewart Crafts high gloss finish on the front and back and it's finished! :)

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lately I've been lacking inspiration for miniature food making, whenever I feel uninspired I like to sculpt something simple to get my creative juices flowing again! So this past week I sculpted a few miniature cookies and a pair of cookie earrings. :)

This batch turned out crunchy and buttery!

These cookie earrings were fun to make and I've been wearing them non-stop.

Hope you've had a wonderful weekend and are feeling inspired this week!

Recent Miniatures

These are a few of my most recent food miniatures I've sculpted, if you follow my Instagram you've probably already seen these!

This is a Thanksgiving plate I sculpted a few weeks ago. Mashed potatoes, green beans and sliced turkey with stuffing! The perfect meal for Thanksgiving. :)

I made these tiny cinnamon rolls recently. The gooey "cinnamon" inside and the icing texture was a fun challenge and took a while to get right! I watered the TLS (translucent liquid sculpey) down just a bit so it wasn't so thick, and then added a small amount of white paint for the right color!

I sculpted this plate of bacon and eggs a few weeks ago. I really enjoy sculpting entire meals, its a wonderful challenge!

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!

Polymer Clay Rainbow Cake

I've been working on sculpting miniature rainbow cake slices, these cakes are so pretty and colorful I just had to make a mini version!

Sculpted using Premo, Fimo and liquid Sculpey clay.

Miniature Cake Slice

Today I enjoyed sculpting a tiny slice of cake out of polymer clay. It is a white cake with soft pink frosting on the top and two layers of frosting in the middle, decorated with two tiny white flowers! I am working on sculpting the rest of the cake and a few more slices to go along with it too. :)

A delicious treat for someone very tiny!

The cake slice is about the size of my thumbnail!

Kawaii Egg Charms Video Tutorial

Today I uploaded my very first video tutorial to Youtube. It's about sculpting kawaii egg charms out of polymer clay! I've been working on this throughout the whole week and I'm super excited to be able to share it with you now! :)

I hope you enjoy watching it! If anyone follows the tutorial and makes some egg charms I'd absolutely love to see them!

Before and After Miniature Cheese Pizza

I've been in the miniature pizza making mood lately and I decided to sculpt a simple cheese pizza! I haven't been happy with any of the pizza's that I've made before

so I decided to try some new techniques while making this one. I'm pretty happy with the turn out!

 Before - December 2012

After - June 2013

 I'm happy to see the improvements between the pizza I made in December and the pizza I made a few days ago, Its so inspiring for me!

Recent Charms

These are a few cute charms that I've sculpted recently!

These charms are a paint brush + paint pallet, I'm planning to make these into a necklace that I can wear!

These cute eggs were super fun to make! I didn't add eye pins to these so they're not charms, but I'll definitely be making more and I'll add eye pins to the new ones I make so I can make them into earrings!

These are two silly chocolate bar charms that have little red tongues sticking out!

I hope you enjoyed seeing the charms that I've made recently, and I hope you had a fantastic weekend!

Miniature bread assortment

Yesterday I was busy baking some yummy 1:12th scale bread! I made a few different varieties and I'm planning to make more!

Braided egg breads, baguette, and a few loaves fresh out of the oven! The baguette has a crispy outer crust and is soft and warm on the inside... I love bread!

The braided egg breads are probably my favorite from this batch, they were so much fun to sculpt!

Miniature Apple Pie

Who wants a teeny tiny slice of apple pie? This 12th scale pie is full of apples mixed with cinnamon fresh out of the oven! I can almost smell the cinnamon in the air after baking this...

Enjoy your week!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Charms

These are some different styles of clay chocolate chip cookie charms that I've sculpted all together! The one with the face was completely painted with acrylic paints, and the two in front are earrings!

I've been wearing these cookie earrings a lot!

Miniature Icecream

I sculpted some miniature ice cream in the flavors chocolate, strawberry, and banana this week! I also created little stands for them made out of wire. I'm sure I'll be making lots more ice cream, they were lots of fun to sculpt!

Miniature Strawberries

Hello everyone, today I have to share with you some 1:12th scale strawberries! I've never sculpted any fruit before so I thought I'd start with strawberries. They looked pretty simple to make but they were a lot more challenging then I thought! (The tiny seeds!) I'm pretty happy with the results. Enjoy!
