The miniature bakery is coming right along, and I’ve finished all of the brick work for the front and sides of the building–hallelujah! And for now, I’m simply not going to think about the fact that I have to do an entire sheet of bricks for the rear wall. 😉 I painted two tiny doors,…
The front wall of the bakery is coming right along thanks to a rather mind-numbing stretch of brickwork last Friday. It took a bit of hunting around at local stores to find the appropriate foam for the bricks, and then there was a bit of trial and error with the brick-making process, all of which…
I’ve been working on the furniture in the miniature bakery this week, and yesterday I finished building a counter unit with a “stainless steel” top (it’s actually made from aluminum). This counter will be in the rear of the bakery in the preparation area, and I’m not loving the idea of gluing shelves to the…
Now that the Italian book has been completed, it’s time for a new miniatures project, and I’ve decided to choose something based on how much fun I anticipate having throughout the process. 😉 I need at least one project before the busy holiday season is upon me to really get the creative juices flowing, and this miniature bakery…

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. There’s a small handful of photos that I need to take again, because I’m…
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,…
I’m wrapping up the last of the projects for the upcoming Italian foods tutorial book, and today I have more yummy pictures to show you. In an earlier post, I gave you a peek at the pizza Margherita that will be included in the book, but I wanted to create a project for an Americanized pepperoni…
We’re taking a short interlude from the Italian food pictures (more next week, I promise!) so I can show you a couple of custom orders I’ve just completed. The first is a pendant of a pita pocket with crispy falafel, red onion, lettuce, and tomato–yum! Second, I sculpted a set of miniature macarons in a variety of…
