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 […]

This Miniature Cupcake Gave Me Insomnia
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 […]
Download FREE Miniature Food Tutorials
Next week is a very special time at the Mouse Market studio: it’s Customer Appreciation Week! As a way of saying “thank you” for such an amazing holiday season (and really, an amazing 2013 all around), I’ve created five free tutorials, just for you. Each project features a different miniature food, and since Valentine’s Day […]
Handmade Christmas Gifts
This year, I made a few of my Christmas gifts, and, not surprisingly, one of them involves tiny food. My grandma collects interesting fridge magnets, so I created a tiny sugar cookie baking scene magnet, complete with a miniature version of the December issue of Martha Stewart Living. I used these tiny bowls for the […]
Update on the Upcoming Miniature Bakery Book
I’ve been working hard on the new miniature food tutorial book, How to Sculpt Miniature Bakery Treats from Polymer Clay, and the finish line is in sight. Many of you are well familiar with the process by now, but if you’re new, the book comes together in the following stages: I draft the table of […]

Work continues on the upcoming book, How to Sculpt Miniature Bakery Treats, and today I have loads of tiny pies to show you. All of these pieces are projects from the book, so once it’s released, you’ll be able to make tiny pies of your very own. And, last but not least, I made my […]

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. The brownies were made using different techniques than those presented in an earlier book, and my goal was to find a way to […]

Over the past few days, I’ve continued sculpting and photographing more projects, so things are coming right along! Chocolate lava cakes and fudge Bundt cake: Vanilla pound […]
New Miniature Food Tutorial Book in the Works
It’s been a couple of months since the release of my last mini food tutorial, How to Sculpt Miniature Summer Foods, so it’s time for another book! The topic? Dollhouse bakery treats. I’ll be revamping content from my first two books (the cake and cupcake tutorials), since it’s been a couple of years since their […]
Dollhouse Donuts Take Over My Studio
I’ve had breakfast on the brain lately, and I’ve been sculpting loads of donut/bagel food jewelry and dollhouse miniatures as a result. My first piece was a colorful donut ring (sold out). And I couldn’t resist making tiny bagel breakfast sandwich earrings (add them to your collection here). Returning to my donut fixation, I sculpted […]
