Cupcakes of FIMO

I tried FIMO work, I used this clay for the first time.  It's very hard clay and very different clay that I use usually. I made charm, cupcakes with whipped cream and smile cookie, those are large than 1:12 scale. Oh, cute! hehehe I guess it's good work. :)

And I made miniature baskets. I listed these on Etsy. 

News :D

I hardly could make miniature last month. Why? Because I had prepared to open my web shop. :) I already prepared  my miniature works to Etsy, but I had a hard time to write description in English XO, besides I still had any questions about some things on Etsy. But I could settled those by wonderful helping.  :,D I am grateful her! Thank you sooo much!

And at last... I opened my shop on Etsy. :-))) If you have some times, please come there. There are not a lot of merchandise yet, but I will list little by little.

broken cup with plant

Sometimes I mistake copy work to miniature plate and cup etc. by resin. Then if it is possible to restoration by putty, I do it. But if it is difficult to restoration, those go to wastebasket. X( Other day, when I did copy work, I made a few bad cups. I was going to throw those to wastebasket, but I had an idea. It call broken cup and these cups might be able to be used as a plant pot.  I plant miniature ivy. I guess it is not bad. :)
And this time, I enlarged a hole than old cup in handle.

Ok, this is normal cup. I put illustration of cupcake on the cup.

I guess this design could use to real cup. :-)

Plants again and Rosemary

I made miniature plants again, but these size are little than the old plants.

And also, I made miniature rosemary. This photo is an image that see at a distance. It's nice looking. But...

Camera zoom in, ummm~~~ a little bit rough. Leaves and stem are out of balance.  Leaves are about 1mm width, stem made from wire to make art flower, I used so thin wire. If I hope more thin, I must to find the material with strength that more thick than a hair and more thin than a thread. I don't have an idea now. X( In addition the stem's color is right yellowish green, this color has swelling effect. (Does it say "swelling color" in English? I'm sorry, I couldn't find the word in dictionary. If somebody know better word, please teach me. :)) So... I guess that seem the stem is thick.

ummm~~~~ OK. It's good, no problem with see at a distance.

 I took some photos my real rosemary plants and observed a leaf figure.  I had tried three ways to make miniature rosemary. I chose making by clay (mixed clay "Grace" and "Hearty"). 

Christmas cookie (REAL)

I went to a cake shop. I found there some christmas cute cookies. :) There are Santa Claus, reindeer, angel and snow man. I chose a snow man. It's so lovely! I will display in the living room to best before.

I bought this that was charmed by his lovely smile, but I always am betrayed by smile design. I haven't ate delicious. :,-(

I thought that those cookies were made in the shop, but it's an import (Made in Vietnam). :0 Oh, some cake shop nowadays don't made these. I wonder if it will cost a deal. 

Food etc.

I finished making a work. :)

The work above is to sell domestically, but this work is to sell overseas. :) I'm arranging now. I will put more pieces on the display board.

Kitchenware and cup

I made miniature kitchenware. Well, this is tongs. This design that silicon rubber style in the tip have a popularity recently. I have one in my real life. :) It's very good because it don't scratch pots and pans. I will arrange this with orange frying pan, so I made orange color. The tip made from clay.

I remembered that I made a measuring cup a few years ago. I found silicon rubber mold of measuring cup from drawer, and I made in the usual way. Of course, this graduations is inaccurate. hehehe :P It's a just design.

Last one! I gifted a real size cup in the give away the last month. I made the cup in miniature. Wow! Very good! :)) A cheese on the left side of cup is an ornament. 

I will arrange some miniatures on display board. I especially am happy and enjoy in this moment. :-)
