Happy Easter



I've been playing with clay,

yesterday I watched a video on
Creating Dollhouse Miniatures blog  ,
showing how to make daffodils  with
cold porcelain.


I think that the techniques adapted well to polymer clay.


The basket, eggs and orange vase were
also made from polymer clay.




My daffodils are a bit oversized and not
super life-like.  I will call them decorative daffodils.


The cutter that I used for the petals
was meant for use with gum paste/fondant
for cake decorating.












I really enjoyed making the daffodils but I disliked
making the leaves and could not get them quite right.



I'm going to try making leaves with floral tape,
I need to buy some in light green, I only have dark green now.


The vase is a ceramic bead.







I had difficult time getting a nice ruffle
on the trumpets, this one is the best but
I  could not seem to repeat it.











The cute little bunny was a gift from
Maria of  Pretty Things Ireland blog . 


I think he enjoyed being part of the
decorations.














I hope that your Easter is warm and sunny and that you have a wonderful day.

Thank you for visiting, Mary

      Thank you, the bunny made the display special.

      The orange vase was made using an failed attemt at an orange cane, the other 2 vases are ceramic beads.

      I hope that you have Sunny days.
