I haven't done much miniature making in the past few days. I did make a few Fimo candles, but that's about it. The wicks are black clay which I roll and bake beforehand, and save in a little jar. 
I always work on clean sheets of printer paper when I'm using clay to keep it clean. I used to scrub down my worktable before working with clay, but I could never get it clean enough to keep the clay clean. The paper is much easier, and works much better.

Thanks for sharing the tip to use printer paper to keep the clay clean.

Hi Eliza
ReplyDeleteYour steady hand is something to marvel at!
well done
The candles look very real.
ReplyDeleteI made polymer clay stems for apples. Which are about the same size as a wick. It worked very nicely but they eventually all broke off. So on the next batch of apples I used wire for the stems and painted it after I baked the clay.
Hi Eliza, your candles look amazing. I wished i had a steady hand for such a great miniature project. gr. AM
