New Items in my Etsy Shop

Ok, so I was finally able to sit down and create some new items for my Etsy.com shop.  It was long overdue.  I hope you all like this sweet assortment of Cookies.  I had so much fun making them :o) 

Kid's Themed Birthday Ice Cream Cakes

My son absolutely just loves these Edible Cake Images that you can purchase in sheets and place directly on your plain Birthday Cake for a Custom Character Design. He had a Backyardigans Image for his 3rd Birthday and a Spongebob for his 4th Birthday.
I don't know why I was thinking of these today...lol...but I wondered if I could create one in miniature size....and this is what I came up with so far. I think they are cute and would look nice in a miniature children's birthday scene :o)

Frog Footman - Alice in Wonderland Character

Not much going on these days...so I'll share some pics of a commissioned Frog Footman from Alice in Wonderland that I finished sculpting last week. FYI- The tray of sweets that he is holding in his left hand belongs to the customer.

It's been awhile!

Wow it's really been over a month now that I haven't posted anything at all...I have been sooooo sick with morning sickness (we are expecting our second child later this year) and a terrible flu this past week too... that I just didn't...ummm...couldn't do anything at all these days...but it's time to get out of this funk... and get back into things....These sweet little moulselings I sculpted last night really perked me up and made me smile...I love little mouselings...can you tell?... :o)

Victorian Cupcakes

Finally...I made some cupcakes...These were alot of fun to create...and I'm so into strawberries this week.

Some More Cupcakes....

Victorian Cakes & Fruit Tarts

I was a busy bee last night...these are a few of the sweet treats I made in miniature.  I really enjoyed creating the Gilded Cake Stands too, made a few of those to include with my cakes & tarts.  Hope you like them.  These are available in my Etsy Shop.

3 Tiered Cake & Strawberry Tart - Alice in Wonderland

I think it took me all of yesterday just to decorate these cakes...lol
I hand painted the intricate decorations on the 3 Tiered Cake with polymer clay mixed with liquid polymer clay.  Available in my Etsy Shop.

Miniature Almond Panna Cotta with Mocha Sauce

My very first try at something new...Almond Panna Cotta with Mocha Sauce.  Had to think about how to make the almonds...so I rolled out a stick of clay...baked it... then sliced diagonal slivers in almond shapes...and shaded the edges with Heat Set Paint.  They were so tiny!

Custom Ordered March Hare - Alice in Wonderland

Ok...Here he is...The March Hare in his Fabric Clothing in a Sitting Position.  I do LoVe this Hare...but will be moving on to sculpting other characters this month :o)  Can't wait to create the next one.

Back to Sculpting my Art Dolls

This is a Custom Baby Mousling I worked on last week...I'm so happy to be sculpting my babies and Art Dolls again...haven't in a while.  Although they are not 1:12 Scale, they are quite small at just 3 1/2" Long.  The little basket she is displayed in only measures 2".  I also love to crochet so her soft, sqishy body was crocheted by me and is jointed too, so she is very poseable.

Well...I goofed on  my Website while adding some content and now it's down and my Computer Geek of a husband just doesn't have the time to figure out the prolem...so I decided to also include some other pictures of my art dolls here on my blog.  When I first started sculpting I only sculpted Babies and Little Dollhouse Fairies.  But now I LoVe to sculpt just about anything that catches my fancy.

The March Hare ooak Sculpt - Alice in Wonderland

I'm currently in the middle of sculpting a Custom Ordered March Hare with Fabric Clothing...but because I haven't found the right fabric yet I am unable to complete him...just yet.
So I decided to sculpt another March Hare with Sculpted Polymer Clay Clothing.  Cakes & Table were handmade by me, the Chair was purchased.  You can click on the link below to see his auction:

Added the Store Front & Roof to my Shop

I'm so happy I was able to add a Store Front & Flip Top Roof to my Handmade Roombox.  I ended up cutting the plexiglass myself and built the store front with Trimmings & Pieces that I purchased and cut to fit into place.  This was my first attempt at somthing like this...so now I think I will be more confident when putting a kit together or maybe even building another shop from scratch...so this was a wonderful stepping stone for me.  I must admit I think I changed the interior wallpaper about 3 times...lol  But this time around I think these tones add warmth to my little shop.  Also, the little girl I sculpted last month finally found a place to call her own...I made a new dress for her and tied her hair up and I just love her so much more now.
