Last week, I put the finishing touches on the miniature food rings I’ve been working on for my own personal stash of jewelry. Well…all but one of the designs is finished, but more on that in a moment. First, pictures! And lots of them. 🙂 As for the last design that I’m still wrapping up, in…
This morning, I popped more of my resin casting experiments out of their little molds, and hallelujah–they look good! (Just joining us? 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…
A few nights ago, I had an idea for making a pair of cupcake earrings that were partially wrapped with a bite taken out…and apparently, my Muse was not in a patient mood, because I found it impossible to sleep until I got up and actually sculpted the piece. I’ll admit, as sleepy as I…
Last week, I spent most of my time working on custom orders, and I have some yummy-looking photos to share with you, along with tips for making larger, hollow clay foods. For starters, here’s a little carrot cake bracelet that I sculpted for a customer. The cake slices are alternated with little fork charms, each…
Work continues on the upcoming How to Sculpt Miniature Bakery Treats book, and I’ve added Boston Cream Pie, fudge brownies, and cherry cheesecake to my list of completed projects for the book.

It’s been ages since I’ve blogged because of an enormous project that wrapped up a little over a week ago, so I have an entire backlog of yummy miniature food pictures to share with you. First, here’s a peek at my messy work table mid-project–so much tiny food! And here are a few of the…
I’ve been holed up in my studio lately, sculpting like a madwoman for an upcoming project. I’ll post more details closer to the event date, which is in September, but the gist of it is that over the next month and a half, I will be sculpting three times the amount of food jewelry that…
I wouldn’t be surprised if dollhouse miniature stand mixers eventually have their own black market. These pieces are frequently out of stock with all of my suppliers, and when I do get my hands on them, they sell like hot cakes. This week’s supply shipment contained a whopping four stand mixers, so I reserved one…
I’ve been working on food jewelry pieces this week, along with one preparation board, and I have some pictures to share with you! First off, I needed to restock some staples, so I made a pair of cheeseburger earrings and a pair of peanut butter and jelly earrings. I was still feeling the sandwich vibe,…
