currently: gonna go to bed. Fashion show tomorrow!
So I have to sleep now, but I recently put these up on my deviantArt account and I thought I'd showcase it here too.
Over my uni break, I had a desire to create miniature polymer clay sculptures that I had seen on deviantArt, and was so keen to try thinking this could bring another level to my jewellery which I haven't really done a lot on... And cause uni break this time was crappy weather, and all my good friends were back at uni before I was, I had time to crank these creations out.
These were all made from New Zealand brand 'Du-Kit' which my mum had some lying around but had never used.
Miniature Clay Rubber Duck
[dA link 1|2]
The miniature rubber duckie was made for my boyfriend who just had his birthday. I made a pair of ducks, one for each of us, cause at one point in our lives, we've both had the nickname duck (unrelated events, just coincidence). So I made tiny duck charms that looked like adorable rubber duckies. Cause rubber duckies are cool. They're tiny. My fingerprints are possibly bigger than my ducks.
(And yeah, I was trying to have fun with photography with these.)
Miniature Waffles with blueberries and cream

Okay so initially the idea was to actually give my boyfriend a waffle charm for his birthday. But after I found out he prefers syrup on his waffles, and that I could not make liquid clay to make said syrup, I had to change the idea. (I wasn't going to waste a perfectly good waffle-look-a-like on nothing. I spent ages making the holes perfect.) Anyway, I normally put cream and blueberries with chocolate syrup on my waffles, so here's a seemingly healthier version. I made little tiny balls of dark purply/blue, made them have holes like blueberries, then got 3 tiny rolls of white clay and attempted to create cream. It kinda reminds me of marshmallow rope but that's okay. These actually had more blueberries but those fell off. :/
Miniature rainbow lollypops

(I thought it would be fun to post them with the gourmet jellybeans I had bought yesterday. Even though gourmet jellybeans are really tiny too)
I saw these on a necklace once. So I wanted to try one for myself.
I actually made 5 of these. The rainbow rope I had swirled to make these ended up being really long. So I had heaps leftover. I used toothpicks cut in half to make the lollypop sticks. The idea to make polymer clay sticks seemed to take too long in my mind. Yeah I'm a bit lazy.

They're flowers. Its all for prettiness.
So this is just to show you how big these charms actually are.
And let me just mention, I have small hands. So you may think like "oh, your hand might be massive" - yeah. Its not.
Any suggestions on what I should make next, let me know :D
Was thinking of making pacman charms just cause they seem easy. What do you think?
