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

Hi Maria,
DeleteThank 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.
