Thought I would share this with my farmgirl pals!!
This is what I have been making- teeny-tiny food for dollhouses, etc.
All of these little morsels are made from polymer clay. I am going to set up a table at our next yard sale and see if any of these sell!! (I did send a few things to Tasha with her journal.)
I love making these things. It's a challenge to see how detailed I can get while keeping things small!! Enjoy the peek!!

Karin! These are so amazing! I am squinting because I want to see all of the detail! (I'm getting hungry too...good replicas!) That's wonderful clay-work. Thanks for sharing!

Karin! These are so sweet! I love tiny things and I think you really did a great job. I think I am too heavy handed for teeny tiny stuff like that..what a talent you have!!

How cute karin, and what are you doing with Tasha's journal, oh you mean our Tasha, I'am thinking of Tasha Tudor. ok never mind. Is the clay different colors or do you have to paint these itty bits? I'am like Jenny says, to small for me, I could make a nice ball and that would be it.

| These are adorable! You should have great success in selling them. Think about offering them for sale/trade as Christmas gifts here on the farm forum. |

i love miniatures and these are great! please let us know if you will be selling them here at mjs site, or if you would consider a trade.
i have an old dollhouse that my dad made for the grandkids and now my grandkids are re-decorating it.
lets see, i love them all, but i would be interested in the frying pan with eggs and bacon,
the bowl full of yard eggs, and the cookie sheet with the cookies.
well done!
love fran |

Karin- How truly delightful! I can't chose my favorite they are all so lifelike! The linzer tarts are pretty cool, or the criss cross top pie, or... oh deary me! You must tell us where and when you will sell these tantilizing tidbits!
If you wanted this to be a business, try contacting doll house supply catalogs and see if they are interested in carrying your "line". They are just wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
with a happy heart |

| WOW! the detail. The greenbeans, mashed taters, all of it! The oranges have great detail. For sure I agree with the other girls, you need to sell these. What an amazing gift you have. |

Tasha- My camera is MIA. As soon as I find it I will post the pictures. They are already in the camera, just need to locate it. If you saw my house right now, you would understand why!!! Thank you farmgirls, for all of your encouragement. Just need to get through the next few weeks and maybe I can sit down and create a plan for myself. Your suggestions have given me much food for thought.
