Fake Food Tutorial - Miniature Dessert Jelly Update

This week, I'm glad to finally finish making some updates to the miniature dessert jelly tutorial which I've written 2 years ago!

You'll now get to learn 2 different methods to make the dessert jelly in this tutorial.

The craft industry is always evolving, with new innovative products being released quite rapidly. I've always taken an interest to see how new products work, and see how it can be incorporated into what I love doing.

Since the new method worked well, I've decided to include that into my existing tutorial! You can be sure I'll always be revising my tutorials once I figured out a new, fun way to make something.

You can purchase a copy here.

A special birthday order - Neapolitan Trio Macarons Necklace

Hello....

It's been a little while since my last update. I've been quietly working here, while handling a situation at home.
But first, I wanted to show you a little order I've been working on. A mommy ordered these for her little girl's birthday and her friends. I hope the girls will love it! The last step would be to attach them to the necklace chains and they will be ready to be shipped out tomorrow! I hope they will be in time for her birthday.

Oh and back to my situation at home. I have a leaking ceiling that has been ongoing for a month. To date, there has been 3 repair works done on separate occasions. 2 from the roof and 1 from my room itself. Despite that, the leaking continues, albeit smaller than before. I am continuing to monitor the leakage, which can only be done when it rains...so, there were some inconveniences throughout this period. I hope it will be resolved soon.

Meanwhile, I'm keeping myself positive with the help of some fabulous music, exercise and lots of korean reality tv shows ^^

New Craft Workshop - Flowers For Delivery

I'm so excited to announce a new craft workshop! Flowers For Delivery is a miniature craft workshop focused on model hand painting techniques. Give an ordinary looking miniature scooter a complete makeover transformation. Turn it into a french-chic inspired miniature delivery scooter!

In this particular piece, there will still be some clay work. Learn how to make the bouquet of purple hydrangeas to go along with your miniature scooter using air dry clay.

The difference between this and the other workshop offerings is, there is painting homework to be completed by the student after class. I've put a lot of thought into planning this workshop, to ensure that learning is maximized in the most effective manner. And the truth also is, hand painting is not difficult once you grasp the techniques, though it is time consuming, the outcome is very beautiful. For the piece to look beautiful, you need several coats of paint to go over your model. Because of this, the painting aspect of it will be completed as a take-home assignment.

I will teach you how to handle this paint during class, as it is very different from the paints used in most of the other workshops. We will also review your painting each week when you come for class.

For those who love hand painting, you'll enjoy this. I find painting to be both very therapeutic and creative. If you feel the same way, I think you will love it. Also we are talking about detailed painting here. There are many nooks and crannies in this piece, therefore one has to be mindful and focused while painting. Though tedious, I'm sure the polished looking art piece at the end of completion is something you will treasure for a long time.

Oh, I've also prepared some notes for the class. This is so that you can refer to the finer tips of hand painting when you are doing it at home.
