So I clay-ed again (:

Whooohooo~ The dreaded Mid-Semester Tests are finally OVER and I found time last week to clay! As usual, I didn't have any idea of what to make, just opened my craft cupboard and started digging through stuff to make. I do however, realised that I like to make donuts ALOT. Even though I haven't eaten a single donut in real life for a few years now. It seems like every time I clay, a mandatory donut is necessary. So let the onslaught of photos begin! 

Presenting to you Sebastian and the christmas cookies! "Would you like a piece of cookie to enjoy with your afternoon tea, Ojosama?" 

Each cookie measures less than 1cm

Making a mold with Oyumaru [Tutorial]

Was browsing around and I realised there ain't that many tutorials on making molds for polymer clay use online! So while I was shopping at Daiso (a Japanese dollar store), I picked up some Oyumaru and decided to make a tutorial out of it. 

Basically, Oyumaru is a molding material which is reusable and very affordable as well! All you have to do is just place it in hot water and it will soften and become pliable. Easy peasy. 

Tadah~~

I have yet to try the mold I made, but once I have the time to try it, I'll update this post again! For those who cannot afford to buy those expensive mold maker, do try out this cheaper alternative! It is definitely a cheaper and easier method of making molds. Besides, if you make a mistake, just place the oyumaru in hot water again and it'll be mold-able again. ^_^ 

On a side note, remember in my last post I said I wanted a nendoroid? Well, I finally got one!! *excited mode* 

Isn't he just adorable?? Introducing Sebby-chan!! He's a character from the anime "Kuroshitsuji' Or "Black Butler". From now on, he will be helping me model all of my clay food! Hehehe :D 

Hope y'all benefited from this post!  

Hurray! Claying again after a long time~

Finally able to clay after so long! I wouldn't say I was very inspired, just went ahead and started claying, haha. I'll let the pictures do the talking! 10c coin pictured for scale. Click on any of the pictures to enlarge.

Mickey mouse pancake! Inspired by Re-ment. 

So I made a bunch of donuts off hand, I just topped them with whatever I had in hand. Each of the donuts are about 8mm at its widest, and I think thats a perfect size for earrings. May consider putting them in the shop, because I've tried selling donut earrings before and they were a hit! 

Heart shaped cookies dipped in chocolate. 9mm at its widest. Personally I think these would look really cute as earrings too. ^_^

An impromptu chocolate tart that I simply decorated with chopped up brown clay (which are acting as chocolate flakes). I often end up making random things or things that I didn't intend to make in the first place, hahaha.  This tart measures 13mm at its widest, and its photographed with my Sylvanian Families furniture set I got about a year back. 

Iced Gems! The real deal. 

I was scrolling through Instagram, when I chanced upon a picture of Iced Gems!! I adored these as a kid, and actually I still really like them even till now. So I decided to get to work and made these babies. I made mine slightly different though, gave it a more "high class" look. I made the bases kinda like tart/cupcakey instead of the original biscuit base. Made two versions, a bigger and a smaller one. The bigger ones measures about 5mm at its base and the smaller ones 3mm. However,while I was happily shooting 'em, I accidentally dropped one and have since been unable to locate it. Pretty sad right? Thank god I managed a group shot before I lost one of them. 

So that was all I've made, and I'm not sure if anyone's actually reading this blog at all, but I decided I'm going to stop neglecting this blog! (see I even made an effort to change the header picture *inserts goofy grin*) At times I wished I had something to model the food I make.. I want a nendoroid so badly!! *cries*
