LOOK CLOSER!!!! Miniature Cupcakes smaller than 1/2 inch (10-15 millimeters) 100% polymer clay!

Get closer!!! 
LOOK at the DETAILS! 
Each of these pieces is about 10-15 millimeters wide, at the base of the cupcake.
Less than 1/2 inch wide!!!


Delicate sculpture work.


The flowers are made from polymer clay.



I have added in one of my first frosted cupcakes- 
to show the scale of the pieces. You can scroll
 down my blog and view the sidebar on the right hand side. 
You will see the purple and green cupcake sitting 
on my finger in one of the photos which is linked to my Flickr acct. 
This way, you can get the idea of how small the other cupcakes are.


For those who have seen the micro clown sculpture,
in photos, posed on my pinkie nail, you can get 
a sense of the scale of the cupcakes as well.


Iced and frosted.


A candy explosion! I imagine PopRocks... I loved them growing up!

Today, I taught 3 classes...

Well, it's going to be 11:11 11/11/11 in a few minutes. Since it only happens 2x every 1,000 years, I figured I would log in and write about my day

It was a pretty good day. The weather was a bit cold, but nice and clear out.

I saw a childhood friend and met her daughter, taught 3 back to back jewelry classes and I had a really nice time with it.
I luck out with the coolest students!
:o)
My sister has advanced to the next level at trying to obtain a very good scholarship (FULL TUITION!) to a very good college. I am hoping for the best- it would be an AMAZING blessing if she got it.

I've been learning a lot of cool techniques this week and have been practicing some new ideas too. So far, I am crocheting a fun new pair of wrist warmers and a matching hat!
I'll post photos between next month and January- because I want to give these as gifts and keep it as a surprise.

I work with some really awesome people and they've been keeping me entertained and smiling a lot. I am grateful.

My polymer work is getting even more detailed and I look forward to sharing it soon! 
Keeping this post short, have a great weekend everyone!
:::Waves bye:::

~*Just because, I, FELT, like it.*~

I started to wire crochet with beads, this season, which has inspired me to add in beads to my wool creations. Here are some samples of my work from yesterday.

Art to wear & be cozy!

Crocheted Wool With beads and crystals. 
The lime green beads are reflective 
which makes them useful to dog walkers,
bicyclists and pedestrians, at night.

~*Beading along while I am singing a song...*~

It's the holiday season! Inspiring me to create more art to wear!
I purchased a whole lot of goodies to bead with from my local art store last week.

These are some of the things I designed.
I've been playing some fun music with upbeat lyrics to sing along to while I work.
It makes the tiny repeating bead patterns more bearable! :o)










I was watching "Tetro" while designing the necklace and bracelet. It played out like an artistic telenovela! :) Great cinematography!
