quest for the perfect fruit cane

was thinking of starting on some smaller scaled items, perhaps it's cos i've been making so many larger ones i am suffering from withdrawals XD

here are some 1:12 and 1:24 canes. the teeniest banana slices are approx 1-1.5mm wide.

the lemons were test slices to see the colours. i think i am quite happy with them, though the rinds might be a tad too translucent and the whites not prominent enough. but maybe it's the lighting.will try to take better pics...yea i know i'm always saying that but really, i hate taking photos. :X



all these are actually older canes, save for the lemons. i tried mixing up some greens for kiwi, but i fail miserably at greens. i think i need more practice. anyway, those i will attempt another day, meanwhile i have new requests coming in that seem very exciting, and i'm hoping they pan out so i can work on them.

FINALLY SOME 1:12 MINIS BWA HA HA!!! *jumping rabbit mode* ;)

more strawberry canes

so, the current commission calls for a coupla strawberry slices, and since i ran out of 1:4 ones, i had to make new slices. i tried making them a different way, yes, another failed experiment XD look at how disgusting it looks! thank goodness it's just the one slice, baked.


i can't take a good pic of the new slices. these 2 were test slices to see if the colours worked before i bake up the rest of the canes. actually, i think i'll refrain from baking them till i need 'em. need to store them safely out of the way though. it's slightly more translucent, and since i hadn't sliced these thinly (the ends are a bit wonky) i think the thinner slices would be perfect.


letting these rest now before i slice into them. the largest will be reduced slightly to 1:3, as with the 1:4, some details are lost on the 1:12 but that can't be helped. definitely a difference when making larger vs 1:12 canes. with 1:12, the lines used should be thicker upon assembly so as not to lose all the details after reduction. maybe if i can take a better pic, the lines would be visible on macro mode, but not to -my- naked eye.

still, am happy with the results of this cane. i'm tempted to make more in different shades etc, just so that i can avoid making these for a loooooooooong time XD

took me total of 6+ hrs (including the 2 hrs wasted on my first disastrous cane) to get these few out. i'm glad they're out of the way HA!
