I, for one, am going to go against the grain for everyone here and say I am VERY interested in doing mini foods. My sister and I, actually. She’s wanting to make a cheese and wine tray for her Italian Christmas village display and the cost to purchase these are exorbitant! I’m researching the different methods so that we can do these before Christmas. Thanks, Cindy, and do keep them coming! They’re so cute, and it looks like it’s a lot of fun making them.

I have to let you know that right now making miniature food is great fun!!! Though I do not have a dollhouse, my 13-year-old daughter and her friends LOVE my mini food jewelry! And it’s not just the kids… I know of many people that look forward to my latest “recipes”. It’s probably not something you wear everyday but great fun!!!

Thank you everyone for the fantastic feedback! It is great to hear from both sides of the fence on this one. It is very important for me to hear how you all truly feel, in order for me to give you what you want.

If there is anymore of you who would like to see more info on miniatures do let me know. What I may be able to do is make some separate mini-course on the subject, if there is enough interest.

Keep the excellent comments coming! I very much appreciate the opinions of each and every one of you! Thanks!

Nina, I’ll be odd too! lol I got into making dollhouse miniatures about 6 months ago. I had seen picture after picture of the fabulous mini cakes and thought I would give it a try. I made 2 layer cakes, a pizza, some fruit tarts and ooh candles! I still make larger items but I have really enjoyed the challenge of making tiny things. As a matter of fact I just finished a set of miniature ‘stuffed’ animals that are barely 3/4 of an inch tall! I really enjoy seeing what you do with clay regardless of what it is! I hardly make beads any more, but love seeing them! Keep up the great work Cindy!

I guess I’m the odd woman out, here :) I’m working on a dollhouse (actually a doll castle) project with some kids, and we’re having a great time making all kinds of miniatures, especially food, with polymer clay.

I have no interest in making polymer beads and such — I just want to work on 1:12 dollhouse miniatures :)

I am with the majority of the group too. Not into miniature food. I went to a Chocolate Festival here in Denver last year and someone was selling ceramic fake chocolate. I thought they were cute but thought, why would anyone want to buy ceramic chocolate. I only want the real thing when it comes to food and especially chocolate. :)

Miniature clay projects look to be to time consuming for me! I do like Maureens idea regarding Holiday canes, I would be interested in learning how to make them.

Same for me Cindy – thought your platter was really nice, but I’m just not a doll kind of person (teddies are my thing, I dry needle-felt and sell collectable bears in the natural shetland sheep colours). I do like fruit and flower beads though, loved your pear beads.
