@Catalina: Thank you, I still have a lot of room for improvement though. I made the pats of butter out of Delight modeling compound & painted them pale yellow. To make the “melting” part, I used Envirotex Lite that had a little yellow coloring in it & poured it over the pats of butter.

@Marna: I think your work is very good. It looks like you have achieved a lot already. How did you make the little pads of butter look so real?

@Marna: An interesting site is theminifoodblog.blogspot.com which has posts for the miniature food. It is mostly 1/2th, but I’m sure you could adapt the scale. Hope you enjoy it.

Hello, this is my first post here. I am new to polymer clay and my interest isn’t in beads and jewelry, but in 1/6 (Barbie) size miniature food. I am trying to find a web site that might include some how to instructions, since any technique (which is pretty much zero) I have is just something I made up. It would be nice to see how other people do it. I thought maybe someone here might know of a site or a really good book to help me. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. If you want to see the few dishes I have done so far, they can be seen in my Flickr account here:

NEW PHOTOS ADDED: Hello to Everyone, Some new Spotlight project pictures that relate to the topic of this page (Polymer Clay Doll Miniatures), have just been added in another post. They were submitted by Catalina. The link by my name will take you to where you can see them, along with a bit of a write up about her other pics.

The ‘Polymer Clay Bead Making for Beginners Course’ was very informative. Although I have dabbled with polymer clay in the past, the above mentioned, is very good for beginners wanting to learn how to work with and utilize this excellent form of clay.

How wonderful to hear about your families’ traditions! Nice to hear I’m not the only one to eat a certain food on a certain night! LOL

@aims: To answer your question about piercing a hole in a bead that you have remade by covering a baked bead with new clay you can do it two different ways.

1)You can drill it by hand with a drill bit after it is baked. Click the link by my name to see a neat way to make your own drilling tool.

2) Put your bead wire through the baked bead before covering it. You may need to slide the pin back from one hole to smooth it, then push it through and do the other end the same way.

Other then that it can be tricky to guess where the hole is. Hope that makes sense and helps!

To Aims,is your bead made of polymer clay? I am talking about the hard bead, and what is the soft covering made of? Do you have a drill with bits from small and up? Cindy (traditions) well all I can say about this is,I do not have any. My husband was U.S. Air Force and worked on the Aircraft(an Aircraft Mechanic)that flies the skies and dog fights, and goes to war when needed. He made sure the Aircraft was mission ready and safe for the pilots to do their duties. So time was what you made of it when you had it. TDY’s was frequent and at a moments notice. I had to carry a heavy load while he served his country. I even was in a forgein country with a three week old baby (my First) and a TYPHOON, it was in the Philippians at Clark Air Base. I was where ever he was as long as I was allowed to be there. I am not whining. I was proud to be a Military Wife. As any women that has been or still is a military wife, knows it takes a special kind of women to be a Military Wife. And I am patting myself on the back,I grew as a person and made him proud I could handle whatever came up or I knew where to go get help. Sorry to carry on so but just wanted everyone to know something about me. Thanks for listening. Lynn W.(He is retired now)

We do pizza on Friday night, too. Store bought, tho. Works for me. However, every Saturday night I make catfish and cornbread and two other side dishes. Just wouldn’t be a Saturday without our cat fish dinner!
