New Tutorial Book: Miniature Grill Tray

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. Here are the rolls, waiting to be yummified with texture and color. Even after hints of color have […]
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 […]
New Book: Dollhouse Miniature Food, the Leftover Edition
The mice and I have been hard at work, finishing up all of the dishes for my upcoming mini food tutorial eBook.

The book will […]
Miniature Pizza Parlor Almost Open for Business

I have one […]

I came across a gorgeous photograph of pizza from Parlor Pizza […]
Miniature Food for a Tiny Buffet
I’ve just finished a number of custom-ordered pieces for a customer’s miniature buffet scene: two dozen flaky biscuits, platters of crispy-fried calamari, and a large asparagus and bacon tart. (And now I’m hungry.) Here are of photos I took as I was sculpting the polymer clay calamari rings. I show you, step-by-step, how to make calamari in […]
