so much mail today
Thank you sooo much Talina! i love them all!!! i will fix up the kits soon, i'm sooo itching to get to them, but have to prioritize!! i am so pleased! (can't think of a better word, my mind is so hazy from all the pain so i am not gushing as much as usual) i LOVE THEM! aiee~~ Yotsuba's expression of glee sums up my joy at receiving these wonderful little gifts ^ ^
(i admit, the little 'tin' cans totally TOTALLY SLAY ME they are PERFECT)
((and i must add, the little yellow pencils in that jar? the eraser tips OMG THEY EVEN FEEL LIKE THE REAL THING. must. resist. urge. to. chew. XD ))
i also received this medium flat rate box today. for those who don't know (i didn't till i received it) it measures 14" x 12" x 3.5". that is a rather big box :O surprised because i was told my order from polymerclayexpress would come in 2 flat rate packages like my previous order did.
all the clay :O i ordered these before i screwed up my hand recently, and during my down-time (emotionally and work-wise) i was fretting over whether i'd still be able to use the incoming clay. well the hand is doing heaps better with the help of ibuprofen, so i hope i will!!
the cake is finally done! my customer wanted some plates too, and from past experience, plates are really quite difficult to get all nice and symmetrical. so as a test run on size, i cut up a disposable sauce dish to act as a plate. size-wise, i think it works. the fork is a jewellery charm, i snipped off the eyehook, and sanded off the rough edge.
managed to work with a bit more clay today. this is for a different 1-3 commission......need to tweak the colour on the kitsune (sweet tofu skin) a little more...but soon i will be able to pour in the 'soup'. have to also paint the chopsticks. might sand it down a little more if my hands can handle it tomorrow.
made the master for the 1-3 onigiri and made a mold for these. i think i must have rolled out at LEAST a thousand grains of rice *faints* took me all of yesterday just to make the original. yikes! just have to stick on the seaweed, and they'll be done. i like the shapes of these though, i love eating onigiri with crab mayo filling, YUM!
gonna rest a bit more. dad's little birthday cum retirement dinner yesterday is wreaking havoc on my digestive system. serves me right for being a greedy little ----- :9

Oh my, the tin cans! Are they really tins? Pencils with erasers??? Wow.
ReplyDeleteI am still feeling very woozy, damn stomach flu.
That noodle is great! I think the pair of chopsticks are the best that I have see so far. You know what I think of mini cutleries . If you can sand it down at the handles, better still but if not, they are quite good already.
*crawl back to bed or visit toilet for the 4th tine this morning1
Waaah! Those tins and pencils are so awesome! *envies* And is that a little mini house on Yotsuba's right?
ReplyDeleteSans! oh my indeed! they are i think turned steel rods/pieces. they are dense and quite heavy for the size. i love how there's space for me to stick on labels!! gonna start stocking up my mini pantry ;)
ReplyDeletei want to sand them down further, but sanding them down was how i injured my hands in the first place, so i'm rather wary XD
you should avoid spicy foods for the moment :( i hope you are better now, keep hydrated!!! GET WELL SOON!!!!!
Pei! YA!!! that's a dollhouse for a dollhouse by Lundby, i was informed that it's discontinued and quite rare, i donno, i love it and want to open it up but....but......AHHHHHH it's like my friends freaked out when i opened up Yotsuba to play...i donno man!! HOW HOW!??!?!
ReplyDeletei so want to get the sylvanian families dollhouse/toy shoppe set...you know the one filled with mini-mini dollhouses for the sylvanian dollhouse!??!?? i'm sure you know what i'm referring to!!!

ReplyDeleteI say open :P Toys are meant to be played with! My hubby always says i should keep my toys mint in box but where's the fun in that?
