How to...kawaii cream cake from clay

How to make a cream cake (VERY EASY)

For this project you will need:

-white polymer clay

-pasta machine or roller

-crinkled square cookie cutter

-texture ‘Makins’ sheet ‘Checks’

-faux cream or white calk/silicone (from DIY store)

-icing nozzle

-red glass bead

-other findings, depending on how you are going to assemble the finished product

1. Run a piece of white clay through a pasta machine on the thickest setting

  

2. Usually ‘Makin’s brand’ clay texture sheet is coming as a set of four sheets. We are going to use the ‘Checks’ from set “B”.

3. Position a flat piece of clay on the sheet and run it though pasta machine again. If you do not have a pasta machine, then just place the textured sheet on clay and press with the roller, or even hands.

If you clay is sticky, brush on some corn flour to the sheet for an easy release. Some people use water, however I do not advise using it, as cracks in clay can occur during baking.

 

4. Here is our sheet of clay to do with it as we please. Oops, I meant to carry on with our project.

 

5. It is the time to take your crinkled cookie cutter and make a use of it.

 

6. Cut the square in half with the same cookie cutter and bake on ceramic tile or on a piece of cardboard as per clay manufacturer instruction

7. Once two pieces have cooled down take a tube with the calk or silicone, put the nozzle on and squeeze, filling in between the pieces as shown. The process can be a bit messy.

 

8. And now you can decorate it with the ‘cherry’ bead.  Easy! Let it dry over night. And do not forget to insert a hook (before the silicone dries out) if you wish the cake to be a charm.

I have been very busy with my studies, but found a couple of hours for my hobby.
Yesterday i have made a stempunk alien. To be totally honest, in the begining it was not an alien, but a little devil. Strange transition :D  This alien is unique and i have not taken the photo of the back but the spine is all covered in watch parts. Very "pretty".

And the second creation was not related to clay:

I am rubbish with the wood, and that is why i was surprised that i have managed to build an old fashioned AGA stove. This is supposed to be a 1/12 dolhouse miniature, but i think the scale is wrong or may be i am imagining AGA to be taller.

Spooky miniature 1/12 potion labels

I have made a decision to give away a couple of my handmade spooky miniature witch labels. As you, probably, noticed I have used famous brands to re-create them. I hope that you will find these labels useful for your own collection of miniature brews and potions.

New tutorial St. valentine's day gift

Kawaii valentine heart plate and mug ring or necklace from polymer clay

Materials needed:

Polymer clay

Crinkled cookie cutter heart shaped

Plain cookie cutter heart shaped

Heart embellishment (for cards)

Acrylic paint

Pasta machine or roller

Start with rolling clay through the pasta machine on the middle setting.

Use crinkled cookie to cut the heart out.

Use plain heart cookie cuter to identify the folding lines. Do not press too hard

Leave the plain cutter in and bend the edges to create the plate. Make a hole on the top of the plate if you would like to create a necklace.

Before baking the plate please refer to my other tutorial how to make a cup. Use that instruction to make a mug.

Bake plate and mug as per your chosen polymer clay brand instruction. Leave it to cool.

Paint the plate and the mug. 

Glue the heart embellishment to the inside of the mug.

 

Now it is ready to be a pendant or glued to the ring base.

Enjoy!

Fantasy dollhouse 1/12 scale slave-queen

 'Far far away in another galaxy there was a very beautiful planet being invaded by evil aliens. The queen of the planet was enslaved together with all her loyal servants...'

The girl is 1/12 ooak scale dollhouse figurine. She is made completely out of polymer clay, apart from the leather collar and, obviously, some steampunk and chain enchantments. It took me about 3 days to complete this project.

I would like to point out, that if you think she is dressed inappropriately then you are imagining too much lol

Make and bake hobbycraft shop own polymer clay brand. Review

At last! Hobbycraft shop has opened its doors to the crafters in Norwich! I was there couple of days after of official opening to avoid the crowd. I was delighted at first and taken aback slightly, as some products were not really 'fresh'. I mean, for example, puff paint was dry. At first i thought that the shop was pricy, but when i  came back home and googled each product from my receipt - everything was cheaper in the shop than on-line, apart from POLYMER CLAY and TOOLS!! How unfair!
Anyway, i try refrain myself from complaining at this point and quickly tell you about newly found 'Make and bake' Hobbycraft own polymer clay brand.

When I have opened the package and "broke" the block of clay my first impression was: 'Its "Creall-therm' polymer clay texture and feeling.

For those who is not familiar with old “Creall-therm” I will go into details. ‘Make and bake’ clay is hard to knead, very crumbly, lumpy, colors are terrible, plus original price was £1.99 for 58 gramms, whilst for that price you can buy smooth and firm Premo Sculpey. And by looking at the package i assumed it was designed for children. I am not sure whether a child will be able to knead "that".


After curing the piece of clay is loosing its brightness and look like it has got some ‘bumps’ on the surface. Brrrrr….

Therefore - there is plenty of room for improvement. But I do not think that this will happen though in regards to 'Make and bake' polymer clay.
