My 10th Anniversary of Miniature Art - miniature food series (2)

I would like to share with you my handmade miniature clay food that I have made for the past 10 years..  Beside making super mini size of fake food, I also make live/ real size of fake food, to me, making a live size fake food is a very challenging job . I do not use mold at all, all is shaped out from my both hands and it takes longer time and concentration when making them.

There are more and more photos but I cannot show you all here, hope you like my miniature clay food  and thank you for supporting me these years. Thank you very much.

My 10th Anniversary of Miniature Art - miniature food series (1)

Miniature clay food art is getting popular nowadays. You can learn from a miniature teacher or just go online and learn on your own. For me, started as a hobby, I was 42 and self taught myself , ( during that time , there were no teachers teaching and internet was not so popular yet, so  I never learned online or through books, I always try out my own methods and see how it works , and get improvement from there) . Since 2005 till now is almost ten years, a long time! I am going to celebrate my 10th anniversary of Miniature art this year , I will keep on making miniature clay food or figurines  as I love this hobby so much.

I have made so many fake food and below showed some of my handmade miniature food that I made in these ten years! I made a lot of local food during the last 5 years, and the first local singapore fake food I tried to made was dry mee pok. and I succeeded ! This gave me a lot of confidence to continue making other local singapore food.....because I love singapore food!

Miniature Fried Rice

This miniature fried rice with fried egg and pork chop was done quite sometimes ago but it still look good (fresh) , as long as you keep them properly, most of the handmade miniature items can last for years ...



My handmade miniature fake  fried rice with fake pork chop and egg



There are many ways of making fake rice, but I always love to make them one by one... and to make  the miniature fake pork or chicken chop looks crispy.....you need to come for lesson and hands on....



This is a 1: 8 scale miniature size, I seldom make this size unless requested because to me this size is a bit too big for collection. And because it is big, everything you see must be very perfect and extremely detailed,  but it is also easier to make as it is big!

Miniature Ice Cream/ Sundae

To make a miniature Ice cream sundae is a bit difficult for a beginner, as to squeeze the whipped cream nicely out from a tube or tool need a lot of practice.  I have wasted a lot of fake cream when  practicing to squeeze the cream nicely.

Below is my handmade miniature fake ice cream sundae, hope you like it.

close look at my handmade fake ice cream sundae, the chocolate sauce is done by me and it looks so real and delicious........ 



The plastic mini glass is about 7 cm in height. 



I added 3  different colours of layer  of ice cream and some chocolate sauce (all are fake)   and then I squeezed in the fake whipped cream and put  my handmade mini strawberry to decorate it. You can also add in your favourite fruits like kiwi, banana or biscuits/cookies.

Welcome 2015- Miniature Figurines on MRT

Welcome 2015, SG50  and Happy New Year !

Have you read this article on Straits Times (theSundaytimes) dated on 21st Dec 2014? although this news belong to last year (2014) but the campaign will continue till March 2015. To me, this is  really a big news as my name was mentioned in the newspaper because I made the miniature figurines of policemen and firefighters and others.

All these miniature figurines are very unique and they look similar but not the same,  handmade 20000 pieces in a short time is really ,really  not easy. I hope you like them!

I like to thanks all of my friends that helping  me in this big project. Thank you very much.
