Patsea Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I want to try making some food from polymer clay. I found a really nice site - the woman did some really delicious looking food. Think I might try making the stew.... check out this link. This stuff looks better than any stew I have ever made with real food! http://pannikins.homestead.com/stew2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 An excellent source for making mini food is Angie Scarr's book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to go too crazy, but would like to put a few food items in the kitchen. I love seeing eggs in a frying pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Liquid Fimo is lovely for doing raw eggs, but you can also use some to make your cooking ones glossy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patsea Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I have worked with polymer clay years ago. I use to decorate ostrich, rhea, and goose eggs by cutting an opening in the front of the egg and making small scenes inside. Since I was working in such small scale, I usually made a lot of the things myself to fit. I would also paint a scene on the inside of the egg and continue it out the front - such as a stream coming right out of the front of the egg with miniature deer standing near it on the inside. How the food will turn out - I have no idea! Hopefully better than my RL cooking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well one thing about mini food, we don't eat it, so aha once we make it we don't have to do it again lol Those eggs have always intrigued me! I doubt I could do something that dainty. I am sure you will do well with minis. It takes practice, though. It is an exciting journey! For cooked eggs either UP or Over Easy, I think I used a white mixed with translucent for the white part, then yellow mixed with translucent for the yolk. you would want a very very thing translucent over the yolk for Over Easy. I used either the liquid Fimo or Clear glossy sealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof2Moos Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 There are several great tutorials on youtube for food. Start with gardenofimagination. She is pretty amazing. Then just follow the links that they have. Our own Gabrielle, missminilover on youtube, does some good food tutorials, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
