Let Them Eat Cake!

If you enjoy cake (seriously, who doesn't?!), you should check out my new series of rings in the "Tiny Treats" collection. They are all tiny cakes and pastries set on mini porcelain plates. Some of the cakes have a slice missing, giving us a peek at the type of cake and filling inside!

Right now, these rings are only available at Wholly Craft, so get yourself to Clintonville (N.W. corner of High and Pacemont) and check 'em out!

Sweet Tooth

I have been polymer clay crazy lately! This typically happens every now and again, as I take out my enormous clay stash, my tools, and all the other accessories and add-ons that accompany. I figure, Well, while all this stuff is out, I might as well get as much use out of it as possible!

The first photo is of a little blueberry muffin charm I made. It was my first attempt at making a clay muffin, and I think it turned out great! A little hard to photograph, though...maybe I'll be saving this one for Tiny Canary and won't be listing it on my Etsy shop page.

Here are some other things I've been working on:

Dessert Pastries Ring

Apple Core Necklace

New York Pastries Charm Bracelet

Fall Sweet Treats Jewelry Set

Just Desserts Pin

And finally, my favorite: Rainbow Cake Earrings! I made them to sell, but I fell in love with them and just couldn't part with these teeny little cake slices. I think I will make more cake slice earrings: maybe carrot cake and yellow cake w/chocolate frosting. My little experiment for the New York Pastries charm bracelet turned it to a great find!

Check back soon for more new photos!

Time To Make The Donuts!

Mmmm...look at these yummy donuts! Too bad they're FAKE. Sadly, they are not edible; rather, they're part of an art piece I am working on for the Agora art show in October.

They start out as donut-shaped lumps of lightweight air-dry clay which are painted in a variety of cake-related shades.

Then, I "frost" them with a seemingly endless combination of acrylic paints, glosses and glazes. And then comes the fun part: sprinkles and drizzles!

The artwork below is about 85% complete. There will be a lovely surprise at the end. But I'm not giving it away now. You'll just have to come to the art show and see for yourself!
