BRUSCHETTA

 






If you follow me on my YouTube channel for quite a bit,you may recognise that I am big Italian cuisine lover.In my previous polymer clay tutorials I showed you how to make spaghetti,pana cotta,caprese salad and salami.This time I've  decided to create miniature bruschetta - a very tasty starter dish which in the basic form constists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic.
There are many variations that includes different toppings but I've created my favourite - pomodoro (tomato,basil,garlic,onion,mozzarella).

To make things more interesting I've also decided to show you a "baking soda" trick.It allows you to create bread/cake texture without hours spend on needle texturing.It requires a lot of trials and testing on the proportion front, but it's worth the effort as the results are incredibly realistic.

Have fun baking your miniature breads!

Love,A.

Materials:
- red,translucent red,white,beige,green,translucent polymer clay
- acrylic paints
- baby powder
- baking soda
- FIMO liquid
- miniature chopping board -> click here to watch chopping board tutorial
- epoxy glue

POLYMER CLAY TULIPS - Mother's Day Project








Spring has finally arrived and I decided to create something not food related to celebrate this beautiful weather and oncoming Mother's Day.Tulips right after lily of the valley are my most  favourite flowers.My mom also loves them lots hence this year she's going to receive not only a colorful bouquet but mini - unscented version from polymer clay, which I'm going to transform into a brooch.

I wish all Moms out there a Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you're going to like this tutorial :)

KAWAII WATERMELON




In this tutorial I'm showing how to make polymer clay kawaii watermelon.I'm trying to keep my "kawaii" tutorials as simple and quick as possible.That's why I decided not to use classic Skinner blend technique (which might be difficult for beginners - especially if those, who don't own pasta machine) hence color gradiation here is less smooth but hopefully good enough :) Instead of Skinner blend I decided to use rubbing alcohol and baby powder.I really hope you're going to like this quick&easy charm idea!

For this project you'll need:
- red,white,green polymer clay
- rubbing alcohol
- baby powder
- acrylic paints
- gloss varnish

Love,A.
