Miniature food

I really admire those who can make realistic miniature food. It must take so much patience and precision to do that. I wanted to try....but with the "easy" stuff lol

I made a baguette


details...



...and a croissant!

I find them super cute I must say.

Momiji doll

A new one. I made a mini version of the ones I made back in December so that it would not make a pendant too big. I have not found the right chain for it though.



Hope you all had (and are still having) a nice weekend.

Chinese knots

I made some beads back in December for an order that go cancelled. I didn't know what to do with them until I bought a book on Chinese knots.
Decided to try mixing both and see.
Not so sure about the result though: found it nice at first but I wore it for a day and now think it needs some improvement: the knots don't keep their size so it gets bigger sometimes.


That's all for today :-)

The neverending project...part 2!

Today was a bank holiday so I worked on my sister's necklace this afternoon. This project has to be my longest so far!
I have finished the white cane today and was disappointed with the results as the centre of the blue flower did not want to reduce with the other canes. I really don't know what didn't work because it is exactly the same cane that I've used in the black one.
Now that I think about it, it might be because of the white fimo I've used: half way through it, I ran out of Fimo Classic in white and used some Fimo soft to fill in the gaps.
Anyway, I can't throw it away so decided to go ahead with it.

I have finished all the beads necessary and cured them: just need to varnish them now and make the necklace. I might manage to do it by the weekend, who knows...

Here are the beads. What do you think of the white ones compared to the black ones?


That's all for today :-)

Long time no see...

Yes, I haven't posted for a little while. The truth? No time and when I did try to sit at the table (without falling asleep lol), I had no inspiration. It was frustrating.
My twin has asked me to make her a ring and a bracelet that would match the necklace I made for her birthday....it's been weeks and I still haven't managed to come up with anything.

Anywhooo....I showed her a book I got and she asked me to make her one necklace from it. Of course....she didn't pick the easiest :-) I admit that project was one of the reason why I bought the book but never found the time or "courage" to try it.  And all of a sudden I thought "come on! let's try this!". I have done half of it so far and it has taken me quite some time. Let's take a look.

This is the first step: all the canes, separated...

...and once put together in one cane. (sorry for the dark but I finished it at night time...about 30 minutes ago)

I am a bit disappointed when I compare it with the pictures from the book. The leaves didn't come out as proper leaves and the orange of the flower in the middle has disappeared (where? I have no clue!) on two of the petals.

I still have to make that same cane in white to finish the project.

That's all for today :-)

Oh! and here is the book if you are interested
