1:4 choc chip cookies, chocolates, and some loot!

1:4 scale choc chip cookies. commissioned items.

1:4 scale chocolates. part of the same commish.

same breads but taken in better lighting. i haven't yet painted the other batch. real life keeps butting in, i'll try and complete them tomorrow. having a bit of problems figuring out what colours to use though. the breads in Singapore (the ones most commonly seen) tend to be more ochre-ish than brown. wonder why. i think it might have something to do with it looking prettier? or just coincidental due to type of flour used?

re-printed the striped liners, and made them in various shades.

and then, i practiced tying little bows out of teeny ribbons! width of this ribbon is 3mm wide. the bow itself is barely 1cm wide.


===============
boring personal entry below, you can skip it XD

ran to a few places today after a nice afternoon out with my aunt. we went to a food fair, but there wasn't really much special there, so we wound up having lunch at a japanese restaurant.

headed over to Funan (an IT mall in SG) but couldn't find what i wanted, and got trapped in a stationary store. XD i really love stickers, have loved them since i was a kid. the papers are for....what else, cupcake liners. they're thinner than what i'm currently using, so i don't know if my customers would be able to handle the flimsiness, but oh~~~ 50 COLOURS!!!! XD

and lots of ribbons too. approx 1.5-3mm wide...i taught myself how to tie bows, with minimal wastage! i guess if you wanna learn how to you've gotta check out some youtube vids or summat, it's kinda complicated and you need like, 4 arms. OK I JEST but yea it's really fiddly working at such small scales.

and the microbeads are FINALLY HERE OMG T_T i waited SOOOOO long for these! finally i can make the cookies i've been holding back on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

k. got stuff to do. and it's late. and i'm exhausted.

nitenite :D

oh. i just realized i only have 5MB remaining for my flickr uploads. wondering if i should upgrade to flickr pro. hrm. we'll see i suppose.

i also got some equal part resin from mdm ang, i'm so excited! i can finally make liquid foods :)

here are my fave plates from today's haul. they're from hongkong, and totally worth the buy i feel. love love love the details! i plan to make mini sushi and display them on these. ^ ^

UPDATE:  http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.com/2011/09/introducing-madam-ang.html

i dragged L down to mdm ang's miniature workshop at sunshine plaza before my appt, that place is...*swoon* i could barely contain my joy! mdm ang is such a warm and generous lady, she chatted and shared loads of tips and tricks and ideas! even gave me a round-down discount on the items L purchased for me ^ ^

the stamp is from a scrapbook shop in plaza sing, i'm not sure what i'm going to do with it and polymer clay yet, but my brain is teeming with ideas! i'm sure i'll come up with something :)

the 'handmade paper' is from daiso, L spotted the last pack and i couldn't say no, could i? ;)

woo~!

in other news, docs think the lump looks benign, so they're not fiddling with it anymore, at least not for 2 more months. the EBV panel came out half positive and half negative, the good news is the more suspicious one for cancer returned negative. so i guess i needn't worry too much, at least not for 2 more months > <

to hell with the atypical-cells-unable-to-confirm-malignancy biopsy result eh? :S

i'm going to return to my half-a-happy-pill dosage from today onward, i don't think i need the added boost now that the blood test result seems...optimistic. poor L. i will make an added effort to keep my mood up. or at least, not be as snappy as i used to. :S
