Miniature Cupcake

I love dessert so much and it is always never enough. My first collection of miniature figurines is a miniature cake.

You can create over 1000 of  ideas for sweet dessert once you know the basic skill of making it. Recently I have made these cupcakes.

The fake cream is very difficult to handle 

Need to prepare many types of topping as you do not know when and which you are using next.

You can find this size of real cup cakes in some cupcake shop. But these are my handmade clay cupcakes for display only~

Miniature white Christmas Bear

We always think of white polar bear, what about a white bear? a miniature white bear.
I did this miniature white bear together with a miniature Christmas tree this morning.  Hope to bring some Christmas feel!

I use soft white clay to make the miniature bear and soft dark green to make the mini tree. 

This is pure white soft clay, so any tiny little dot will make the colour dirty, need to be very careful.

I joined the  3 pieces of 2D Christmas tree to form one.

The size is very small , just about the length of a tooth pick.

Miniature clay poodle dog

As requested, I made these miniature clay poodle dogs, I make a lot of miniature bears but miniature dogs not much.  I love dogs but I am quite  afraid of them . My favorite dog is schnauzer , hope one day I can have them with me.

Clay Sculpture (2)

I spent 6 weeks to finish this clay sculpting- Joker. This is my first time using oven bake clay to sculpture a human head in this big size, so every single wrinkle needs to sculpture too.

This is my handmade oven bake clay sculpture: Joker, my first piece of oven bake creation.

The height of this Joker sculpture is about 20cm x 15cm. I have over baked one of the eye ball, and become black in colour.  Over all I am very satisfied with it as this is the first time making such a detailed face sculpture. although he looks a bit too old and thin! (Ha ha ha....) Well, I am sure I will improve  if I got time to make another one again. 

This is the original colour, paints is needed to change him into a colour sculpture . this will take me another 2 weeks to make it.

This is the side view of Joker/ I do not want to spend too much time on his hair. You can drawn fine lines on his hair but it will take longer time to finish the whole piece.

The jacket is not beautifully done. 

This is the back view of Joker sculpture 

I will try to make some famous characters or people in a smaller size and different way by using this type of clay . By the way, this clay I am using is really , really very hard to knead and press.

 Never stop learning and trying new thing.so,  Let's  Start! Have Fun! Be Happy! Be Creative!

Miniature Dim Sum Set

Recently one of my students showed me a new type of materials she bought. I tried to use this to make a miniature dim sum container, it looks good, but colour is too light and difficult to stick.

As the color of the mini container is too  light,  so I used a lighter and brighter colour to make the miniature paos , egg tart and siew mai , in order to match the mini steamer .

It looks very nice if you match the colours correctly.  I have made the miniature rabbit-like shou tao

(寿桃）,the mini rabbit looks very cute.

On the right hand top steamer, you can see a 馒头 with some black sand on top, I wanted to make a black sesame 馒头

For the egg tart, I use a very simple and cheapest way to make it, you can learn this skill at my basic clay food beginner course lesson.

Clay Sculpture (1)

I learned to make these "organs" by using super sculpey clay, oven bake clay. This is the first time I use this type of clay  , it is totally different from the  air dry clay I am using.

This is an fake ear before baking

This is the smaller fake ear I make , a bit complicated . Super sculpey is a kind of clay that is very hard . To me, it is a bit difficult to handle.

The fake hand, the colour looks lighter before baking. 

The orginal colour of super sculpey  look very a like to our skin colour

My handmade Live size Clay food  model: Curry Chicken Cutlet Rice.

Custom made Live size Curry Chicken

Good morning everyone! Today is a new starting of a month.  I have been quite busy for the last 2 weeks but I enjoyed my work .

I have just finished my custom made order : a live size curry chicken.  It is the same design I did before as the client is the same person and he is opening another new store. ( the real curry chicken he sells is really delicious, I love curry since I am a young girl)

This is my live size handmade clay curry chicken with clay potato. 

My Live size curry chicken is made of clay and I do not use any mold for that. I use both hands  shaped out the shape I want and paint on it. 

My handmade food mock up is different from those you see in the Japanese's  restaurants , the materials is different , so the outlook is different too.  Handmade is totally energy flows  out from your both hands, is different from machine (mold)  made

My handmade clay food models may not perfectly (100%) look the same as the real item as I do not use any mold, but to me, it is definitely looks alive compare to the machine made (factory) one.

 Handmade to me,  is  come from a place of  your energy , warmth, attention and love .
