Italian Foods Book Table of Contents Sneak Peek
The book is nearing completion, and I’ve finished all of the writing and the layout as of yesterday. The writing has been dropped into the layout, and tomorrow I’ll be working on dropping all of the project photos in as well.

Miniature Italian Foods Tutorial: A Peek at the Cover
It’s always exciting for me when I finish the cover of a book I’m working on; somehow it makes everything feel more real. I spent all day yesterday working on the writing, and I’m continuing with that today, so I hope to have a significant portion of the text completed before the weekend. In the meantime, […]
Dollhouse Miniature Sweets, Italian Style

Dollhouse Miniature Breadsticks, Swordfish and More

Next week, I’ll work on the writing portion, which I hope to have done by […]
Dollhouse Miniature Arancini, Pasta Shells and More
I have some good news today: I’ve less than ten projects left to sculpt for the upcoming Italian foods book, half of them desserts, and then I can dive into the writing and book layout. The finish line is approaching, and I’m hoping to have a rough draft of the book done within the next […]
Miniature Pasta, Five Ways
Yesterday, I was sculpting a pot of miniature mussels marinara over pasta (which I’ll be showing you in a future post–it’s taking me awhile to make), and I had a bunch of pasta left over, so I decided to make spaghetti dishes with different sauces and toppings. Let’s take a peek… Making the pasta: First […]
