Miniature Parfaits, Sundaes, Milkshakes and Shaved Ice Desserts!

Lovely cool weather we're having today :) It's been too warm and hazy lately, and being shut in with the windows meant my fan was working overtime (and the air-conditioning, fwoarrr)....so rain is definitely welcome :)

I've listed almost all the parfaits, sundaes and shaved ice desserts on my Etsy store, please take a look! 

https://www.etsy.com/shop/snowfern

There have been quick sales on a few items already, and some were reserved by customers who had requested I make some newer desserts, so apologies if you had your heart set on them :( 

Also, will no longer be accepting custom requests (except for the one reserved slot!) as I prepare for a change in my ....what is it..'art direction'? things around me have always been chaotic, and so I want a more purposeful and calming work environment. This will not only help me heal up (chronic hand/shoulder/wrist injuries and other wonky bits), it will also allow me more time to work on projects which have been neglected. especially in 1:12, the preferred scale for me to work in.

This doesn't mean this dolly blog will be abandoned, no! There's still the November doll event, and of course my darling Clover who still needs a summer wardrobe :P meanwhile, I wish to concentrate on my original miniature blog, http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.com, and updates on my facebook page as well as Instagram are more frequent, do follow/like etc to stay in touch! links are to the right of the blog, but here they are again:

Hope you've enjoyed the photos :) It's almost time to feed Eva (my maltese, for those who don't already know :P) her medicines....she's still recuperating from a bladder stone surgery last wednesday, and boy is she attention-starved! I've finally figured out how to feed her the pills with little struggle, but she's now holding out eating her kibble for treats (which I use to bribe her to take her meds....)...fussy and naughty as ever :P

I'm back! And in time for Singapore Doll Carnival 2013!

Okay, these aren't for the carnival, they are part of a commission which my very patient and lovely customer had asked for! I've already showed the pastry/cakes portion (mostly via my Instagram and Facebook page), but the commission also included a wide range of foods, many of which I have never made in mini before, so alot of time was spent experimenting on textures and new techniques, partly why the whole commission took so long as I re-made quite a number of items as I was dissatisfied with the results. :X 

 Miniature 1:3 scale Schnitzel, air dry clay

 Miniature 1:3 scale sausage platter, with salads and sauerkraut (?), air dry clay

 Miniature 1:3 scale potato side dish. I've never been too fond of potatoes up till recently, maybe this was the trigger!!!, air dry clay

 Miniature 1:3 scale borscht (supposed to be beetroot + beef too?), air dry clay + epoxy resin 

Miniature 1:3 scale apple strudel, air dry clay

1:3 scale miniature boutique pastries and cakes. air dry clay. 

so here's the pastry portion of the order, all made with air dry clay :) for those who ask about what brands I use, you can check out my FAQ here. I'm sorry but it's just too involved with too many steps to make tutorials, and if I ever do want to get that book done, gotta leave some information for that to happen right? XD am entertaining the idea of making individual tutorials for sale, but given the various scales and mediums I use....am unsure of where to start :( just thinking about it........*mind wanders off again*
