On another hand, I also have some exciting news to share with you. My talented pink sister, Carrie of Noelle Garrett Designs and I merged our talents together to bring you a unique set of product tags. Carrie makes beautiful, one of a kind custom stationary, journals and home accents. I'm just so thrilled to be able to have my miniatures featured on her beautiful work.

These are the first few set of gift tags we produced. All images are courtesy from Carrie of Noelle Garrett Designs.

Show and Tell Monday!

This week, I wanted to show my work in progress...

The 1:12 Miniature Pink Door is half completed. I love it... I also love the "transparent glass panel". Of course in 1:12 miniature making, glass would be too heavy to handle, so I made it with polyester sheet. I so love the lacy patterns on the glass panel. It's so me.

The best thing about miniature making is that I get to satisfy all my craving which I don't necessary get to in real life. For example, I want a pink door in real life, but it's not a colour that everyone in the family fancies. If I could, in real life, this door is exactly what I would like to have.

Earlier I made a rose wreath using reindeer moss, but in the midst of decorating, it looks too "christmasy", so I am in the midst of making another wreath for the door :) I wanted a spring feel.

I was also playing around with the chairs. I've not decided whether to use the shabby stool, but I wanted to paint that small chair. I wanted to get some perspective, so I decided to do something fun! I made a poll, to see what colour you think would be nice. At the top right hand corner of my blog, you would see a poll!

I'm so excited. Let's see what the poll reveals...Please help to vote! Thanks :)

Show and Tell Monday

It's Monday again which means it's Show and Tell! For us at Make Mine Pink, Show and Tell Monday is a day where we share and blog about what we have done in the past week, it could be anything.

This piece was also made in Hong Kong. I know it's a tad early for Christmas, LoL but I wanted to learn it in advance for this year. Also, I plan to make a few variations to this. I'm currently obsessed with doors. I brought the piece back home to make further reinforcement work to the cake. What happened was that the clay didn't dry quickly enough for me to slice and decorate, so my teacher told me it would be best to let it dry completely before doing anything.

I had a hard time deciding what colour I wanted for this. I was torn between this and pink. But knowing I would be making another Pink Door, I decided to change this time and opted for a mint green. Now, I also have plans to make a Blue, Turquoise, Purple, Yellow Door. I think the different colours would bring out different feel to the piece.

The original design was slightly different from mine. I wanted Macarons, and so I made a Macaron mountain. I so love it! It's colourful and look yummy.

I started work on my Pink Door...so hopefully I have something to show soon.

Measurements for this piece: 15.2cm (height) by 5.9cm (width)
