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.

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)
