Craving cake...





Came across these photos while organizing laptop data - caramel cake made on request a little more than a year ago. Gravitating towards the kitchen...must have cake now!  Oh, the drawbacks of being a food miniaturist... :^)

Testing the light...




It's been quite a while since I've been able to sit at my work table and create anything.  Finally, a few nights ago, I was able to get back to business.  Feels great to be working with clay again!  After setting up the "photo studio" I couldn't resist a mini session.  Must test the lighting ;^)  Or, as my husband observed, "Just a good excuse to play."

In the photo:  Soapstone and exotic wood turnings by Thomas Saunders; except the dendritic soapstone bowl, middle left, by Jeff Spera.  Dragon motif bone carving from Wendy's Miniatures.  Glass vase by Kiva Ford.  Dale Kendall rabbit's foot fern leaves and "Dreams" laser-engraved box, both painted and finished by me.  Everything is now back in storage :^(  It all deserves a permanent display...maybe next year?

Wishing you a great week...
