Miniature Sweets

Sweetthings

Have made some sweet items that I wanted to share with you!

The sundaes are made from polymer clay and pushpins -- I got the idea from this website.

 Cotton candy is made from rolled bits of paper and is topped with felted wool roving.

Candied apples are made from polymer clay and wooden dowels, with the "candied" part made from liquid clay that's had pastel dust added for the coloring. The "nuts" on the other apples are brown and tan clays that have been chopped up. 

Licorice sticks are made from polymer clay -- gel medium applied after baking for extra shininess.

Candy dots were made by applying dots of acrylic paint (via a toothpick) to strips of leftover sticker paper (you know, what's left after removing the sticker). I am pretty certain that I got the idea for making these dots from this YouTube channel that has a ton of great tutorials.

Fun, too, is just doing a Google image search on candies and candy shops to get ideas and figure out ways to make things with the stuff you have.

Illustration Friday: SEPARATED

Pingpongseparated

My finger puppets Ping & Pong were once again called into active duty to illuminate this week's word, as were the miniature glue bottles I'd made a while back. That's the great thing about having a ton of props -- you can just dig 'em up and use 'em at a moment's notice!

Other SEPARATEDs HERE.

Recent Sketches

Campbellsoupgirl  Teletubbyastronaut

Some recent doodles in the sketchbook for no particular reason. Not sure if that last guy is a Teletubby or an astronaut and he doesn't know either.

Flea Market Finds: Grill Magnet

Grill

The flea market was on again this week, thanks to the great weather we've been having. Could this outdoor venue continue into DECEMBER? Only time will tell...

So this little grill is a magnet, although we both know that it's unlikely it will be used that way in this household. The cover lifts up to reveal a couple of kebabs, a hamburger and a hotdog.

This Week on Big & Little: Bowling Pins

Biglittlebowlingpins

This should really be called "This Week on Little and LittleR", as these groupings of bowling pins are BOTH minis. LIttle littles were a gift from my dear, kind, sweet, lovable cousin Amber, and I'm finally getting around to photo'ing them -- thanks again, ADV!

Carving Pumpkins in a Whole New Way

Snowpumpkins

A bit of snow in my corner of the world the other night. Some downed branches, but power stayed on and that's a good thing!
