Hi all! Here is a little wip for you :). I wanted to experiment how stable 3 layers with suppoert would be. So far sp good! Hope to finish this tonight.

Here’s a kind of bun you can find at dim sum sometimes. It is shaped like a bunny and tastes sweet =]. The inside is usually filled with black sesame paste or red bean paste.

materials: Polymer clay, acrylic paint, plate was bought
time: ~ 20 mins
size: ~ close to 1:12

Hi guys!

I wanted to try making cakes that are held up by “pillars”. I’m pretty happy with how this turned out =]. (I chose roses because I’m still in the middle of my artist’s block and had no idea what to make lol). I hope you guys like this!

materials: polymer clay, acrylic paint, pins, beads
size: ~ 1.5 inches tall & .5 inches wide
time: ~5 hrs (give or take a bit since I was watching dramas + cartoons)

WIP of a new cake :) teal and gold roses.

Miniature cactus I made from polymer clay. The one in the back is not good enough for an in focus picture haha.

materials: polymer clay, acrylic paint

I know I haven’t been posting anything so here’s a kinda old but new post. It is process photos for how I made the underwater cake. It isn’t exactly a tutorial though. Hope you guys will still enjoy looking at this!

Fanart - Chibi Moon’s Time Key

Hi All!

Here’s a new and improved koi pond. I used a different technique to make the fish (specifically the fins) and I wanted to improve the flower. Hope you guys like it!

Top: Here’s a miniature (1:12) dessert, with vanilla ice cream, fudge, nuts, and cherry over a brownie. This made me hungry while making it haha. Hope you guys like it! =]

Bottom: So I really just wanted to try making a snack bowl and tea cup. It still needs improvements heh ^_^;; but it was fun nonetheless. I had no idea what to put in the bowl so I made up some mochi that I’m not sure even exists haha. I like the colors though!

materials: polymer clay, resin, glitter glue, (I made the bowl and cup this time yay)

Yay! I finished making all 10 girls =]. Now I have to paint the details on :D. Hope you guys like them!

Materials: polymer clay

Height: ~ 1 inch.

Another update! =] Just newly finished another mini girl :D. I hope you guys like them so far! Please keep in mind that the style intended here is cute/chibi not realistic =]. I think I will make an egyptian girl next =]. That would be adorableee <3.

Thank you to those that gave me feedback =]. As suggested, I was going to do an African tribal theme but I have decided against it in the end because I would need more time to be accurate in my research and I have already taken a bit of time for this commission. Second, if rushed, it might be inaccurate, and I would never want to offend anyone XD. So tentatively, for the remaining 3 girls, I think I will do…Egyptian…Dutch…or maybe eskimo :D. We shall see =] (I get random ideas/inspirations hehe).

materials: polymer clay

height: ~ 1 inch

Another work in progress shot! =] 6/10. 4 more and they will be ready to be baked then painted =]. So far so good? hehe They are quite fun to make! I just really hope I won’t mess up on the paint job! These are made for a commission order and each girl has to show a different culture. What other cultures should I show? (I do have a few in mind, let’s see if you guys choose the same ones as me! :D)

materials: polymer clay

height: ~ 1 inch
