MACAROON BRACELET


New and improved 5 colored Macaroon bracelet, just $35 could be yours!

Me wearing my Macaroon Bracelet to the choco fest!!


I did trial it for a few months and added a few additional things. The heart and the pearls and sapphire gemstone balls.

It gives a sweet look and brings out your inner child!! It's extremely fun and eyecatching when worn to certain events! Just like the chocolate festival that I wore mine to XD

My Oreo Nutella Shake!

 See how the Bracelet would match this sweets theme?

For all you miniature sweets lovers, this is a product just for you!!

Creamy Carbonara 

This is a step by step tutorial with images to guide you through making this delicious miniature dish.  (^~^)


1. Roll out pieces of yellow ochre clay (thin)

2. Pick up with dotting tool


                                             3.  Begin to swirl into a circle

4. Grab a miniature bowl; put some sculpey TLS inside and add yellow and red chalk pastels. MIX!


5. Next do the same thing as above (can do on mixing plate but im just doing it on my craft mat). The opaque section is with TLS but the clearer bit is with FIMO deco gel.
 [Note: you will need both]

6. Continue from step (4) and shave some green chalk pastels into the miniature bowl

How to Make polymer clay chopsticks (Beginner with pictures)


WHO WANTS TO MAKE MINIATURE CHOPSTICKS WITH MEEE??!!

Miniature chopsticks compared with my index finger

1. Roll out a piece of yellow ochre coloured clay (thin piece)

2. Place beside previously made chopsticks or an item of the desired length, making sure to align the bottom together

3. Use a fimo blade to cut the exact length of the chopstick

This is what your chopstick should now look like

4. Now take a dotting tool and made 2 small indents, making sure not to press too hard or it will disfigure the clay

After indents

5. Take a brush with a tiny tip and use brown pastel to brush over the indents

This is the brown colour that I used

The finished version. yay!! :D:D

First experiences & Fears of using Polymer Clay- Poly Clay NUB

I had finally gotten into it! I was hesitant and fearful to begin using polymer clay as I had heard “strict” rules of baking, and the risk of burning the clay. I had put off purchasing polymer as it was pricey and well…I didn’t know how to use an oven.

Yes I know what you guys are all thinking. What type of person doesn’t know how to use an oven!?!?

 ****MEEEE****

I am totally hopeless when it comes to using kitchen appliances for cooking (I usually steer away from using things for the first time or if I am unfamiliar with it)-
My inner asian wouldn’t let me waste money on the better clays as I was such a noob! I had just begun to make my clay creations and I wanted to improve before spending a fortune on better clay.

**BIG MISTAKE**

The clay I was using (still have) is Mont Marte Air Dry Clay. As I live in Australia. There is not a wide variety of air dries in local craft/$2 stores.

To be honest, my creations looked horrible and retarded

First ever cookie with Air Dry. And yes. i overdid the glaze =.=""""
.
I guess this lemon is okay-ish? It looks cute atleast 


So many people have mistaken this as a pink poop...its icecream!!! >3<''


Having waited half a year with collecting supplies and lacking time to practice my miniatures, I was lacking patience. I decided to give it a go! I purchased a toaster oven (I have done all the research and know that the temperature in toaster ovens is not accurate. But decided to take a leap in faith)


My first creations turned out decent! And much better than the air dry ones! I found that it was far easier to  create delicate features . Air Dry was just too hard to create a smooth look.

Green tea and strawberry cake roll~
At the time I was also using acrylic gloss varnish from Mont Marte as It was in my local $2 store. However, I realised that even  though it gave the desired effect, the smell was horrid and would last for a long time!

SOOOO i waited forever for my Duraclear Gloss Varnish to come in the mail! I have been using it ever since!




It's SUPER AWESOME !! <3
