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!!

1:12th Scale Macaroons
Today I completely rearranged my dollhouse so that I could make a little setup with the 1:12th scale macaroons I sculpted! This is my second attempt at making macaroons. My first attempt didn't go so well as they were way out of scale and I tried to paint them afterwards instead of using colored clay. I am happy with how this batch turned out though! I love making tiny scenes and my dollhouse mother was very happy to pose with the macaroons!
I have only made pink macaroons so far but I plan to make many more in different colors too!
Imagine having macaroons for breakfast while reading the morning paper and sipping a nice cup of tea/coffee..I don't really know whether or not people actually eat macaroons for breakfast. But it sounds cozy!

A Collection of Handmade Treasures
These are some knit/sewn/painted rock dolls I have made!
The first two are a fuzzy creature and a snail. The fuzzy creature was made on a knitting machine. I made another fuzzy creature but that one was to shy for me to take photos of! The snail is hand-knit and I embroidered on the eyes and mouth. I made up the pattern as I went on the snail so sadly I don't have a pattern to make more snail friends.. I'll have to make an updated snail pattern someday!
These three sewn dolls are (from left to right) Candyfloss, Mini Baby, and my version of an Ugly Doll. We got my mom an Ugly Doll bat one year for her birthday and I loved it so much I wanted to make my own! I remember working really hard on sewing the eyes and making sure the stitches were as even as possible as I could do at the time!
Candyfloss and a little pet rock on a stone covered in moss! The cherry blossom tree watercolor painting you see in the background was painted by me as a gift for one of my sisters.
And Candyfloss, the pet rock, Mini Baby, and my Ugly Doll all together with a watercolor painting I did of a chameleon!

Self Portrait
This is a graphite drawing I made earlier this year from a photo of myself as a toddler! The hair was really fun to draw with the little sprout!

Field trip to the MIA
Recently me and my mom took a trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. I worked on sketching some paintings from the masters!
This was my first time sketching in a busy public place. I found it uncomfortable working with so many people talking and looking over my shoulder. I plan to practice working in public places more as I would like to be able to comfortably sketch in places other than home! It will definitely take some getting used too!
Other than that I had a really good time. I love being able to see all of those paintings in real life! We brought home some art books and a post card of (the painting you see above) "Six Tuscan Poets" By Giorgio Vasari. He painted this in 1544!
