miniprojectMmmmmmmminis, how I love thee!
Here are the coloured tiles I decided to make sprinkles out of, because rolling clay that thin is difficult. Even the balls were tricky to make and they still look too big to my pedantically mini-mad eye. I also made some teeny little hearts for a valentine day spree, no doubt a-comin', and some chocolate bars, just cuz.
To get sprinkles I cut small slices off the tiles, chopped them into bits, then literally split hairs to get them small enough. I'm not sure how they'll work out yet, but here's what I have to work with.
I'm planning on making more cupcakes and donuts!
I also made these resin pendants for my friends. The process was hampered by my wanting them to be double sided. I made a lot of mistakes trying to perfect the technique. The tarot card pendants scattered around came out with the sides not perfect because the resin shrinks when curing, and leaves sharp edges which look opaque after sanding, so MEH, impefect specimens that take an age to scrape and buff into passable keyrings or something. More pics of the pendants when I've drilled and threaded them onto string.
They're SO SHINY! *beams proudly*
