Minis go large!

You know what happens - you have an idea for some new minis or a technique you want to try or seen something and thought can I make that?  I made a few small minis that weren't cakes, or anything I could call anything really and they have sat in a drawer for a while. They were samples of things I was trying out with beads and glitter so see what happened made with odd bits of clay. I think I may have been thinking Christmas things as there are a few glittery things in there. 

I then had a bit of inspiration and made this - 


It isn't a miniature in the true sense but I have made other frame boxes with miniature food in them which I will put on here at some point in the future. I like the idea of the boxes as the miniatures are seen every day on a wall rather than behind the door of a dollhouse. The models in the picture above aren't as detailed as the miniatures I normally make, use cutters and have no texturing in them which makes it less time consuming to make and more stylised. 

I have a few more ideas in the pipeline, sometimes I wish there was more hours in the day.
