A fruit pie and cupcakes

Is it a lunch time yet? :)) These polymer clay treats make me hungry :)))

A little fruit cake:


And two cupcakes. Cupcakes are very popular in all kinds of crafts. In our Newcastle craft mafia quite a few girls are doing something with cupcakes. Cassandra prints them on t-shirts (tea shirts, as she calls them :))), Amanda makes them of felt, girls from Pet Lamb Patisserie bake real ones. Now I will add my polymer clay ones :)
White cream:


Pink cream:

Apple pendant and apple tutorial

Just a cute realistic apple :)


An apple tutorial below. Make an apple out of translucent clay, paint it with powdered yellow pastel first, then paint half of it with red, and another half - with green pastel. Add leaf and other details.

Thimbles

I have not been maintaining my English blog for awhile, but I am back now! :))) Happy New Year everyone, may all your wishes come true in 2010!

I have been busy with Christmas markets all December, and did not have time to make something new. A friend of mine asked me to make some thimbles for her, I made a few, and then realized, that I can not stop making them! :))

Here is my collection of 10 thimbles, and I don't think they are the last ones yet.

All together:


And separately. Little frogs:
Sheep, sunflowers and poppies:

And all sorts of flowers:


Thimbles were made for decorative purposes only, I am afraid they can not be used as they are supposed to be used :)))

Continuing a fruit theme

I liked making charm bracelets, so I decided to make a few more of those fruit bracelets :)
These are three bracelets on my hand:

There is one of them:

I also made some earrings to match the bracelets, with miniature fruit slices :)

I love fruits :))

Strawberry jewellery

Little stamped strawberry beads:

In reality these are very lovely beads, looking very juicy and nice to touch. :))

A sheep bracelet made on order

Making polymer clay cakes

Making a cake base:
I mixed white, translucent and ochre Fimo to get the right colour. Roll out the clay to a required thickness, then cut out the shape. While the cutter is still in clay, press out a hollow in a cake base. Remove a cutter and give a cake base right texture with a tooth brush and shape it with a knitting needle.

For giving a cake the baked look I mixed two pastels into a colour slightly darker than the clay itself. Then applied it just to the top of the base.

Making whipped cream. Mix some white clay and liquid clay to a smooth uniform condition. Fill a syringe with the paste and sqeeze it out onto the cake.

Decorate a cake as you wish. I used my strawberry cane and made a few whole strawberries.

I made a second cake from leftovers of the first one.

Slicing a cake. Give a rough texture on a slice's cut :)

That's it :) Bake a cake in the oven and then cool it down. Glaze the strawberries.

Then take lots of pictures :)))







Bon appetit!
