It certainly helps when you enjoy what you do&#8230; which is definitely true for me. That being said, there never seems to be quite enough hours to get everything done. But I try.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This time of year is especially busy for me because 3 out of the 4 in our household celebrate birthdays all within 2 weeks of each other. That means there are a few parties to plan and attend, in addition to everything else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Since I had to make a cheese party platter today (for real), I thought it would be fun to show you guys the miniature version in polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The photo above is a tiny cheese and grape platter on a wooden cheese board. The cheese board is actually a small wooden button with a flat back, turned upside down. There would have been a glass of wine too, but I made the food for Barbie, and that girl just gets too wild when she drinks! :-P<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I&#8217;ve made some other miniature food items if you want to check them out too. Here are the links:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/making-miniature-food-for-dollhouses-barbies\/4488\/\">Making Miniature Food for Dollhouses<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/making-polymer-clay-miniature-food-for-barbie\/4591\/\">Making Polymer Clay Miniature Food<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/miniature-polymer-clay-food-pizza\/5314\/\">Miniature Polymer Clay Food<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">By the way, I&#8217;ve noticed that whenever I blog about miniature food, the number of comments is usually lower than for other articles. That&#8217;s fine. I don&#8217;t mind. Just curious to get some feedback about why miniature food topics are less interesting for you guys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Is it because you don&#8217;t ever see yourself making miniature food with your polymer clay? Do you think the techniques will be too hard? Too easy? Not into dolls or doll houses? Don&#8217;t like your beads and charms looking edible?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">On the other hand, if you do like the topic of miniature food, let me know that too. I&#8217;m a bit hesitant to create video tutorials about this topic at this time, since I&#8217;m unclear about the level of interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #ff0000;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Cindy Lietz Signature\" width=\"114\" height=\"99\" align=\"right\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutor.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Polymer Clay Tutor\" width=\"200\" height=\"26\" align=\"right\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\" style=\"overflow: hidden; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px;\">Thank you for all the help Cindy.
