I think I'm turning (more) crazy. :P
Well, it started with a simple flower cake. I selected sky blue flowers with variety tone and couldn't help myself putting these colorful butterflies on. But if you ask me, the part I like most is the greenish 'grass' . :D
Have a sweet weekend,
Rachel :)
Yeap! :D
I'm back to cupcake earrings again, this time with gold and silver plated wires and also sterling silver wire. Still cupcake though. lol Can't get my hands away from cupcake, if it's about earrings. But they look good, don't they? ;)

What nurture our lives and livings?
We all have similar and different answer in different aspect.
I love good feelings...
Have a beautiful Friday!
Rachel :)
In a beautiful day with sunshine and tiny flowers blooming all around, cool wind and peaceful, quiet moment....... Like a heaven.....
Time stop flying and the world is yours. No hurry, no worry...
Missing you all!
Rachel :)
P.S. Added new tutorials in Tips & Tricks, have fun!
Weather is not so good these days, gloomy and stormy. Windy and rain. I didn't have chance (time, mood and ...) to make new miniature lately. Simply ran out of energy after work. I don't think I'm turning to be a workaholic or a robot. But now I know how daily life and works kill inspiration and all the drive forces. It just pressed and pushed things down and not long these things will be buried somewhere and left forgotten...
I have tons of idea to make my miniatures, plans to do and experiments to try out. How come a day of 24 hours simply over in a heart beat? Let's play it another way around, stay focus and be more determine. We all have 24 hours a day, all the same. I should stop dreaming during day time and set it free when night falls. Perhaps this works. ;)
I'm missing the red roses.......
It might be the weather...
I made this cake intended to make it as a combination of cake and a flower bouquet. I used to make a cake represented a 'dinner table for our first dating', like it so much... And this cake is something for special occasion as if 'he' came to your door, ring the bell with flower bouquet in his arm waiting for the door to open...
Still with flower influence! lol My favorite mini-cakes are fruity and floral kind. From time to time I also make fancy/fantasy cake. I'm simply addicted! :P
Many clay lover folks ask me questions about clay flower making. For certain size and scale mini-flowers there are cutters such as Kemper cutter for petals and leaves for flower maker to use. However, for smaller size flowers like these I used to decorate my mini-cake were all handmade (scratches, rolls, squeezes, etc. :D).
To start making flower, it's a real good start follow instruction/tutorial available online (or wherever available) for life size flower. It's important to learn and understand basic practices and techniques prior to mini-flower. After you are familiar with life or bigger size flower making, you can start reduce size. From here, when it's limitation on tools and cutters, you will be forced to invent your own technique to get what you want. And then you will develop your own 'style'. I'm also learning and practicing.
Don't forget that practice makes perfect. :)
Inspired by strong sun and colorful tropical flowers. I'm back to clay play and this time it's clay flower. lol
One good thing about making these flowers is a joy of variation! Natural flowers are unique, one always different from another. Difference in tint, tone and shade, shape and size. I also have fun arranging these tiny flowers in vase, jar, etc. I even bottled them. :D
Tropical plants are also beautiful. Sometime you do not need any flower, just some plants and that's enough. Beauty of green. :) Well, I like both so, I use both and ta daaaaaaaaaaa! Here's my 'Tropicana Exotica' flowers! :)
Back from vacation! :) Time flies, really. It was just like yesterday and now vacation is over... I would love to have a never ending vacation. :P
I made this 'sweet summer' for my special someone and I love it (but I love him more...). :)
Hehehe :D I know, I know, but I couldn't help. Seem that I can't just keep my hands away from the clay that long. Finally, I got back to my clay stuff. *blush* Only this time it was not cake or bakery.
I like tiny flowers in a glass jar. I found that it gives me an impression of a private 'small world' kind of feeling. I don't know if any of you feel the same way. Well, it's as if I can keep a short period of time I like in there. ;)
I've made some flower stuff, ornaments, tiny 3-D flower framed 'picture', bottled flower, etc. It was fun with good, warm feelings while making them and I love all of them. :)
Finally, I finished flower orders from my mini-lover customers! :) Custom design flower bouquets for their doll house(s) - in glass container, no pottery pot or ceramic vase. The bouquet should be classy look in one color tone or mixed color but, not rainbow...
Now... that's complicated as different people like different thing (and I love colorful flower bouquet - the rainbow kind!). Oh dear... Anyway, let's try...
Using technique I named 'free hand arrangement', I ended up with more than 10 different style bouquets. Here are 2 of those I like most, I think the first one look classy (to me) and the second one is cute. It reminds me to a daisy field (I love daisy ;)).
Make bouquet, I need a good mood day. I think the arrangement and color of the flowers reflect my mood. I wonder... Is there any kind of flower people use to celebrate Halloween ? (No, pumpkin is not a flower. ;))
