Nov 20 Local Craft Show - Charms

I made these charms a while ago in preparation for christmas craft shows.  I knew that I would be in at least one or two.  Turns out that I will only be at one as the other conflicts with a family vacation.  C'est la vie.
I made quite a few of these so if I have any extras left, I will put them in my Zibbet shop.  If you will be in the Calgary area - come on out and see my stuff in person as the camera does not do them justice.  I have LOTS of other charm/pendant designs that I have not even blogged about yet - cookies, brownie sundaes, cupcakes, birthday cake pieces, snowmen, gingerbread men, and many others!

Chocolate Overload

I wish it was chocolate overload - REAL chocolate that is :)  These are the chocolates that I have been working on, and I cannot eat them :(
I placed these ones on porcelain plates - there are two different ones.  I have more that I am going to put into little chocolate boxes.
In the middle there are chocolate, vanilla and caramel truffles, white chocolate latte, caramel cappuccino, gingerbread, Irish cream coffee sticks, and almonds in dark chocolate.  Mouth watering yet?
I placed these chocolates next to my cookies as well, so you can get a sense of sizing.

Enjoy!

Christmas Cookies - The Mini Kind

I am just finishing off making some miniature chocolates, and I realized I had not posted the cookies I finished last week.  These are made for a 1:12 scale dollhouse.  I am going to list these in my Zibbet shop tonight to see how they do.  I am also going to list my gingerbread house - if it sells before my craft show - I can try to make another one.  Be sure to look for my mini-chocolates once I am done them.

Enjoy!

Gingerbread House

Now that Thanksgiving and Halloween is over, it is time to start thinking about Christmas. I tried to make a gingerbread house before and I was not pleased with the results.  This one is way smaller and I am very pleased with it, ergo, this post :)  I am not sure if I should list this in my Zibbet shop or save it for the craft fair I am in on Nov. 20th.
Anyway....enjoy!

Fall Harvest - The Scary Version!

Ok - don't be scared - but some of my veggies have come to life!  I have been working with sculpting faces and felt that the veggies I was working on woud be a great canvas to try out sculpting noses, chins, eyes, etc.
I have not been very good at this in the past, so any comments would be appreciated if you think I managed ok this time.  If you leave a nasty comment my veggies have vowed to me that they will find you and eat you!
Enjoy!
P.S. I forgot to mention that I made a couple of drippy candles in pumpkins as well.

Fall Harvest In Miniature!

Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere! So I made some in miniature.  I figure that my planned (for the future)dollhouse garden will eventually need some veggies, so, I made some :)
I made the crates out of craft wood I had hanging around, and the veggies are all made of polymer clay.
I think that the tomatoes were the hardest to make - the little green tops took me forever!  Enjoy!

Miniature Sweets

I ordered two dollhouse 1:12 scale display cases for some of my bakery miniatures, along with a glass cake stand and two tier desert stand.  I love how everything looks - though one shelf looks a little empty so now I will have to get to work to fix that!
All the bakery items were made by myself out of polymer clay.  Enjoy!

Miniature Work - Birthday Party Display

For a while now I have been wanting to create a miniature display.  A lot of miniaturists are creating displays in miniature cabinets, wardrobes, etc.  My friends little girl had a birthday coming up, so I figured this would be a good time to do something.  I thought - "How about a birthday display for the birthday girl?"

This is what I did:



Yep - I made everything you see here except for the Hedgehog :)





I made everything here including the forks and knife and candles.




Bows, paper hats with ribbon ruffles and various "printies" from the web.





My friends daughter loves snakes so I made one hogging a chocolate chip cookie.




See the paper plates under the cake slice?







These cupcakes look good enough to eat! 





I love the little snake with the cookie.
