Breakfast in 1:4

I made everything, except the jar :)

Plate/Mug : La Doll Air Dry Clay

Coffee Art/Jam: Resin + Acrylics

Toast: Polymer clay

This request came in via my Etsy store early this month, and it must have been one of the longest commissions I've ever undertaken. Mostly in part due to this:

I fell in love with the mug when my customer showed me the photo. the slot at the bottom is supposed to be for biscuits!!! how adorable, right???? but construction was really quite the headache, as i had to wait for the different components to dry before i could continue...like the handle, the base etc....i've reinforced the handle with wire too :) the longest part of it apart from the waiting was the sanding and priming and painting and varnishing....really really tedious. not difficult per se (i expected it to be more hellish since it's rather 'precise' work?) just....tedious. and dusty. XD

i hope it looks realistic? o.O

i did say i loved it right? huhuhu! this is my own mug! no actually, i prepared 2 just in case 1 didn't work out...i tend to do that if i'm making something tricky that takes a long time/multiple steps just in case i had to start over.....luckily i didn't, so the extra mug is MINE ALL MINE!!! my own mug is kinda rough around the edges, cos i had not much time to uhhh 'refine' it....ah well. it's just like me then! ;P

i love eating toast! with loads of butter! though i really really try not to :P the oven at home short-circuited a few weeks ago (i turned it on and a flash went off inside, causing a blackout XD ) so this is the closest to toast i've had since T-T grilled cheese sammiches are NOT THE SAME~~~ *whiny voice*. 

:) this took a long time too, mainly in searching for the jar, and re-doing the artwork on the label (modified slightly from the original label....) i don't think i've tried chunky peach jam before, maybe the closest i've had was...apricot preserve? in my mind they would taste the same......:S

ok that's it for now. the next one will be rather ambitious and interesting, and in 1:3 O.O it'll be a busy busy week, Chinese New Year is just around the corner!!! i'm still rushing to make the gift that i always do for bf's mom, and will be helping with reunion dinner shopping....and poor bf found out today that his lungs got infected (probably complications arising from hand foot mouth disease....:( ) so this will make it coming to 3 weeks since we've been together (waving through a locked gate 2 metres apart does not count ToT *sniffles sadly*)....i hope everyone's had a better time than he has!!

back to work! i hope to update again before i leave for the weekend. meanwhile, HUAT ARR GONG XI FA CAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~!!!
