I've established a routine every week when it comes to cleaning. As I work on miniatures throughout the week, my desk can get a little messy and dirty. So I've put aside Saturday mornings to clean my work desk. It can take quite a bit of time as I have to move things around to make sure I clean all surfaces. On Saturday, I think I took about 2 hours to clean my table, and it's ready for this week's work again! But I couldn't stand working on dirty surfaces, so I need to clean weekly.
One of the reasons why miniature making is different from other crafts is because there is a lot of materials needed - and you only use a little each time. From tools like cutter, ruler, wood, sculpting tools, clay, acrylic paints, oil colours, glass paints, toothpicks, wires, paint brushes, dried flowers, different types of glue for different usage (this is not even the entire list) - it does add up to alot.!
This week, I've made some new desserts!
Strawberry lavendar slice cakes & some strawberry mousse cup desserts! Enjoy!! They are available at my etsy shop http://www.miniaturepatisserie.etsy.com/
It is really not on you know, every time I see your show and tell it makes me hungry!

Hi Pei Li,
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it is better when we know exactly when we have to clean the house, the desk area or everything else.
The difference is that you work with so tiny tiny materials, your desk area have to be perfectly clean and tidy.
Whenever you make new desserts, I fall in love with them, the mousse cups and the slice cakes are amazing ! Love them !
Hi Pei Li,,, Oh my, I love this weeks projects. I love, love, love what you have done. I love the strawberry mouse cups! I always look forward to seeing what you will have new!
