Polymer clay pressies

Okay, okay, I am definitely, certainly not going to be able to finish the cardboard doll house by Christmas...
It's too messy to work on and I've done enough harm to it already. It's decided that I'm going to leave it alone and I can add stuff to it as and when. Instead I'm going to focus more on the smaller detail and the things that go inside it e.g food. I'll and put up tutorials of things (if they work out)...


So far my past week of making did not go so well. Maybe I'm just a perfectionist, but even the smallest detail that goes wrong, will make me go mad. For instance on Saturday when I was making some mini doughnut rings and candy canes out of polymer clay for Christmas pressies, I mixed up the white with the translucent clay, and after I baked them, not only did they look strange but I didn't have enough ring bases for the doughnuts, yes I know, hahaha... Here is how they turned out...
 lollipop, candy canes, stripy doughnut charm, doughnut rings.





                                








This is the list of what I'll be trying to make:
-mini cupcakes
-mini toothpaste tube
-mini spray bottle
-" " toothbrush
-" " novelty cake
-" " plates
-" " meal
-" "ice lollies
-" "pocky/peppero
-" "biscuits
-" "oriental foods for Chinese new year


I'll probably add onto this list as I go by...


I really need to tidy my room, it's getting nearly as messy as the doll house >-<` But I guess I have a good excuse, it's one of those typical teenage things...


See you soon...xox
