New Look!

It's been a while! Do you like the new look on my blog? I have to thank Catherine of Avalon Rose Designs for creating this for me. She's a wonderful designer and I just love her style so much. I am so glad she captured the little aspects of me in this design. I love colours; I want people to be happy upon coming here. I want it a little homely, and having yummy treats all around.

I've been working on my webpage for a while now too, thinking through what I want to have on there, and it did take some time. Though it's still work in progress I think, but I am happy to have come through so far.

I also want to announce that I'm officially starting to teach adult classes, in creating 1:12 scale miniature art. :) It has taken me a long time to conceptualize things, putting things, ideas into place and deciding to do it. I will be adding more classes slowly, but will first start with this.

1:12 Scale Aluminium Square Griddle Decor

This is another inspiration I took from a home decor book. I get so excited when I see the possibility of turning things into 1:12 scale miniatures.

I saw a photo of a clean white decorative pan. The frying pan or the aluminium square griddle doesn't have to stay on the stove! The person who have these ideas is just ingenious.

So, I tried to make one myself, and turn it into a home decor piece (in miniature scale, of course!).

I love the outcome. And this is just such a great decorative piece. Imagine it on your dollhouse kitchen wall. Just so charming! Oh, and I made the decal myself too. In literal translation, it means "The House of Nature".

Duo Religieuses

Just sometime a while ago, my friend Marie forwarded me a photo of "Duo Religieuses". I believe most of us, including myself would probably have heard of Religieuses, but this is the first time I have heard and seen a photo of Duo Religieuses. I wouldn't have thought such a pastry existed if Marie didn't show me a photo of it, but now I know! According to her, it's not very well known, but just so special and different!

I made a miniature version of that, at the request of my dear friend. :)

The real edible version
