POLYMER CLAY MINI FOOD CREATIONS

• Hi everybody ...... today I would like to talk about polymer clay. I've been a hobby miniaturist in 1:12 scale for almost 18 years now but so far, I never tried myself at making mini food. Well, I tried to make a few cups and plates a few years ago, but since they ended up looking really terrible, I kinda gave up, which I usually never do. But I thought that this FIMO thing just wasn't for me. But recently (a few weeks ago) I started to look into my books again about making dollhouse food out of polymer clay and this time, I tried to find some tips on the Internet and I found many helpful tutorials on youtube. And after a while, I started to buy some FIMO and gave it another try. I already had a lot of other accessories, like a pasta machine and many tools like an extruder f.ex. And this is what I ended up with ..... it seems like I just can't put it down anymore, lol. OK, I still need to learn a lot, that's why I practice almost every day. But it's getting better a little bit each time.

PAINTING POTTERY

I have a friend at work who makes beautiful pottery (real life size) and one day, as we sat together for a cup of coffee, we talked about our hobbies and I came to ask her if she would maybe try and make some plates for me in 1:12 dollhouse scale. Here are some of them which I painted, since she gave them to me in their "natural" color. I tried this very colorful southern (or mexican) style. In the next pictures, you'll be able to see the details.
