Because it needs sanding and decorating a bit first. So I'll just share the best thing, which are these oranges on a tray:



Yay! I've wanted to make oranges for ages and I like how they turned out. I'm not sure if I got the scale exactly right. Oranges do vary in size, so I guess it's okay to guesstimate. And next I shall attempt to make bananas.

The ice-cream didn't look so wonderful after re-baking, because the fimo darkens in the oven, and the colour was perfect going in (just like real strawberry ice-cream, if I do say so myself) but more hot pink coming out, and the moist look was lost. I varnished to try to get it to look wet again, but it didn't give me the best result, which I think might come from sealing raw clay under a light glaze of resin. I'll try that next time.

The cornflakes were the worst! They looked bad enough, but then I decided to seal the paint and flakes of cereal under cheap white glue with some chalk and varnish and anything else I had to hand that seemed like it might work...

Big mistake.



But in brighter news, I found some awesome chunks of natural chalk today on a walk with my boyfriend through the woods around here, and maybe that'll help me in making convincing milk next time.
