My studio is still an explosion of Easter colors this week, and I’ve just finished a duo of American Girl cakes, complete with cute bunnies, ducks, and lots of pastels.

New Easter Tutorial + New Mini Food Molds
I have loads of surprises for you today, my lovelies. Reader Susan B. requested that I make Easter molds, and I didn’t know if I’d be able to pull it off with all of the custom orders due this week, but…ta da! Not only are there brand new molds in my shop, I’ve also written […]

You can see my earlier attempts, including a few duds in this post and this one.) The three pieces that I was waiting on were a bottle of Oronamin C, a bottle of […]
More Miniature Bottle Resin Casting Experiments
This morning, I checked the results of the resin I poured yesterday, and sadly, I was disappointed in what I found. A few of the pieces were tacky to the touch, which typically is a sign of inadequate mixing or improper proportions of the resin and hardener, but I discovered something that made me think […]
Casting Molds for Miniature Foods
I’m working on some rings for my personal jewelry stash this week that requires me to do a bit of experimenting.
