On the drive back from a canoeing trip last weekend, my husband and I stopped at a BBQ joint, and right by the door was a stack of Feast Magazine with this crazy amazing, eye-popping photo on the cover. I immediately told my husband, “I TOTALLY need to miniaturize that!” So I did. Here’s the real […]

Studio Peek: Making Miniature Cinnamon Rolls
This week, I had a few orders for miniature cinnamon roll earrings, and I snapped some photos of the process. It’s fun to see a little roll of polymer clay go from ho hum to cinnamon-y deliciousness.

The Nutmegs Make Miniature Caramel Apples
Fall is in the air, and the Nutmegs and I are already planning fun Halloween and harvest-time projects. While poring over cookbooks, I learned that the Nutmegs had never eaten caramel apples (what?!), so I knew that was our first order of business. We decided to set up a little demo kitchen rather than cooking in […]
The Nutmegs Move In
Things have been so busy here in the studio that the Nutmegs and I haven’t had time to post their moving-in pictures. But Mira Nutmeg finally got around uploading some of the moving-day photos onto my computer for me, and here they are. The house is only partially furnished, and it needs some serious decorating, […]

Polymer Clay Cakes for Dollhouses (and Ears)
While we work, the mice and I often have movies playing in the background, and yesterday ended up being a Tinkerbell day. A friend had recommended one of the new Tinkerbell movies, and now I can see why. The movies take place in Pixie Hollow, which is filled with tiny fairy houses and the most […]
