Madeleines!

polymer clay madeleines in 1:4 scale! the longer 'classic' madeleines are 1.7cm or 5/8 inch long, while the shell ones are 1.2cm or 7/16 inch wide/long.


you can click for larger pic. these are also flat-backed, i made a couple of fully textured (front/back) madeleines, but it's started to rain, bad lighting for pics T-T


which makes them suitable for moderately large earrings! i also made some in 1:3 and 1:12 scales, but that'll be in a future lengthy post in which i'll discuss my 'method' of making them. yea, get ready for another 'failure' post XD will list these, along with a medium and small size once i get them done. and the pics. which i foresee will take forever. so i guess i'll have to try and get them all done and up by end of next week??(that's as self-motivational as i get these days har har) i bought like, 72 earring posts so you can look forward to some other earring designs too :D



on a more personal note, i finally finally met up with my long-time customer Joanne :) she was so sweet and brought along her little blythes, and even a pullip, but we didn't take that many pics cos the lighting wasn't that great -_-" i wish i could have played with her little toys a bit more, but as usual, i'm deathly afraid of damaging or dirtying another person's possessions, so i limited my contact with them XD thank you for the lovely tea-time Joanne! see you next year! ;)

i plan on finally FINALLY making a 'proper' photo set up, i've disassembled my previous peach horror, i mean i liked it cos i learnt how to make a display unit out of it, but i'm sick to death of how it clashes with much of the colours i use in my works. or lack thereof. let's see how much i get done today ;P

  1. the shading is brilliant, makes the madeleines (can't spell!) really realistic! :)

  2. Very nice work :).

    That abacus in your peach horror pic is so cute!

    Have you recovered yet? Over here, I have caught another bout of cold. Super irritated!

  6. Thanks Jocelyn :D LTNS!

    Sans, get well soon :( i hope it wasn't my strain of the cold that you caught :O i'm much better now, heading out to town with bf today.....sick of being at home! the abacus is from Re-ment :P

    ROSANNA! haha i am not tearing apart the peach horror, but maybe will give it a paintover and see if i can breathe new life into it....the last mini meet was a cough-fest, 3 of us hacking away (me being the most virulent i think :X ) it's monsoon season and the weather does not help our sensitive sinuses!

    *hugs*

    Thank you Genevieve! as much as i liked making these, i don't like eating them....maybe all i've tried were not-so-nice madeleines :X

    Thank you Clara! ^ ^
