Christmas is coming ...
I decided to make some more modern kind of foodstuffs and Pinterest came to my aid again with seasonal Christmas biscuits. I always look at the food on there and think is it possible to make it in miniature and more importantly make it look real in miniature from polymer clay.
I decided I'd have a go at making seasonal cookies. As usual I have ideas of how to do lots of different ones but decided to start with two simple designs - snowman and robin.
This is the basic robin in the making. On the left tile - a yellowy clay for the beak, red for the chest and brown for the body. The tiny caviar beads are used for the eyes. On the right hand tile is the biscuit base and the stages of making the robin.
Left to right how the different pieces were assembled.
After cooking they I glazed them with a semi matt varnish.
The snowmen were made in the same way with glittery fimo for the snow effect and caviar beads for the eyes, nose and mouth. Each biscuit is around 7mm round which in the real world would be 8.5cm which is more a cookie than a biscuit size. I did try and size it down to a biscuit but it seemed too small and this seemed a much better size.
