Red onions...no tears!

Exploring new options to make my miniature food more realistic I decided to make a red onion to put on a burger. I have to say that at first I had no idea of where to start. I started by putting a very thin purple clay layer over a translucent piece, cut it into thin slices and then giving them a round shape. Then I thought about making a cane; closing it at the end so it looks like a whole onion, and I did. Here's my finished piece! 

I have to say I'm really happy with the result. What do you guys think?

My second art fair!

 Recently I was part of an art fair in my hometown Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico with a lot of talented artisans. This is the second time I participate in an art fair and I have to say that the first time I wasn't prepared at all. I went with a white table top and my pieces! That's it! No decoration no nothing. I was starting out and I had no idea how to prepare my table to be attractive, so this time I was perfectly aware of that tiny detail. I am really satisfied with the way everything came out. People were surprised, excited and everybody was talking about my work! All my sacrifice is finally paying off!!

Tiny replicas turned into jewelry!

So I was thinking to make different things with polymer clay. Food is my passion but suddenly It hit me "I can make miniature iphone stud earrings!" Here they are:

This is my place: Old San Juan Puerto Rico

This is my home Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. A place full history, lovely people and most of all Art. I love to live here, it is my inspiration everyday. Old San Juan is a little island which is connected by a bridge to the

rest of the island. 

 This is the view  when I walk out of my apartment♥

 This is El Morro Fort is about five minutes walking

 This is my place to relax to keep working with my jewelry. Every time I sit there I feel peace... I thank God  I'm so lucky to see this everyday...

 This is my inspiration! What's yours?

Super Cute Miniature Food Jewelry

Lovely finds :D Enjoy!

From miniature jewelry to miniature dollhouse cuties :D

I started working with polymer clay around November 2010 making miniature food jewelry. My real passion was making miniature food but here in Puerto Rico dollhouse miniatures is something that you don't see or grow up with. I just simply didn't know there are thousands of people that love to collect the pieces that I was making. I did not know what to do with my miniature polymer clay food so I said to myself, " That's it! I can make a necklace out of these!" and so I did.

Doing research and of course looking trough Etsy I discovered the dollhouse world. All those amazing and realistic details drove me to explore this beautiful world. I started to work on a smaller scale, since my jewelry is bigger than the usual dollhouse scale, and created some delicate pieces. I even created some miniature books too!

I am an art student and when my sculpting class came to my life I was horrified. I didn't like to sculpt at all but now I like to make tiny things with my hands and finally realized they were sculptures! Now this is my passion. Hope you enjoy.

This is a lovely treasury that I made! I love all of these beautiful creations. Enjoy!

♥ Everybody loves Rainbow Cake! ♥

One day at the art store I saw this very bright and beautiful box of colors full of something called Polymer Clay. It was like a variety pack. I didn't know at that moment what polymer clay was or how to work with it, I just brought it because of the colors! When I got home I started to think; "What am I supposed to do with this?" I started to play with that thing that reminded me so much of my childhood when I had my kitchen play set, a set of plastic food and my imagination. I loved to make hotdogs with dough cut them and put them on a plate! I discovered my passion for food since I was a little girl.

Driven by that passion the first thing that came to my mind was a cupcake. My first piece was a cupcake :D (A really weird one I have to say lol) Then I started to make different kind of dishes and wala!! a rainbow cake!!! Everybody seems to be drawn to this beautiful combination of color. This lovely cake has been my best seller. I always try to vary my work. This one is a new version. The difference? Thinner layers and the frosting in between. I like this one better... what do you think? *** Want to learn how to make it? Check out my tutorial here: Rainbow Cake Tutorial
