If you remember the fimo fruits from a couple of weeks back, here are a couple of pics of dishes mom and I have been preparing over the past days. All food stuff is made from fimo clay and meant for dollhouses in 1:12 ratio.

Overviews:






Salmon sandwich


Asparagus, ham and potatoes.


Schnitzel and fries.


Ravioli


Mozarella and tomato salad.


Hering rolls (kinda hate the bread roll there. It was so much better before the varnishing... *miffs*


Cucumber salad, sorta...


Cheese platter. ^^


Some cheese sandwiches.


Asparagus in ham.


Sausage platter.


Fruit salad and stuff. Isn't the banana leet? I did it all alone!

In case you're wondering, this is a size comparison:

Hehehe thanks ^^;.

The fat layers are made by cutting into meat colored clay, then inserting thin layers of white mixed with translucient clay. Then you have a "cane" about 6cm long and 3-4cm thick (it varies, of course). Then you start stretching and kneading the cane gently until it becomes the size you want it to be, gradually thinning out and becoming more delicate. It's a bit difficult since you have to knead really gently or else the pattern shifts and it looks bad. You can see at the cucumbers that the pattern shifted a little there which is why we decided to use the bad slices up in salad.

Wow! And how do you make he asparagus?? And the sauce? Malin says that she's totally impressed by you.

Thanks, Malin! XD

The asparagus is nothing special. You just make little strings of aspargus-colored clay in the right size. Then you round off the tip and squeeze the pattern into it with a needle or a similarily slender tool. No biggy at all!

The sauce is acrylic paint, but it's still lacking, so next time I want to experiment by mixing the paint with PVA glue which should make it dry off shinier and thicker.
