My love for miniature art
Few of you know that I looooove
playing with polymer clay. I make rings, earrings, phone plugs, figuries or miniature
foods. The first time I knew about polymer clay was on youtube. There were
videos on how to make cute stuff with it. It was love at first sight. I didn’t
know anything about polymer clay or even making craft stuff with this particular
material. It was back in 2010.
Every single day, I watched videos
on how to make things with polymer clay. Then one day, I went to hobby world (which
was hassamal at that time) and bought air dry clay. They didn’t have polymer
clay. It worked fine. It was cheap.
I bought the exact shit. Yeah, I said shit. Once you know about polymer
clay, you realised how the air dry clay sucks. But I used to love it back in
2010-2014
One of the first objects I made was
figurines such as Harry potter, assassin creed and a geisha. Then earrings that
looks like burger, gamepad, cupcake, ice-cream, chocolat, macaron and so much
more. After they dried, I painted them with acrylic and glazed with clear nail
polish (p.s don’t use nail polish. All my old crafts cracked -_- I should have
used wood polish).
Harry potter
Assassin creed
Geisha
Chocolat earrings
Burger earrings
It is unusual to go out with a
burger as earrings. It’s funny!
In 2015, I bought my first
polymer clay materials! I bought them at jumbo, in craft corner section. Duuude!
It’s sooo good to play with this material. My crafts came out so great!
Even if today I am 25 years old,
wearing gamepad earrings don’t bother me. It makes me happy when I wear my
creations. And making miniature items that have no other use than laying on a table
still makes me pleased.
Unfortunately I don’t sell them.
Or I will later. I don’t know. I rarely think about it coz it’s for my own
pleasure. Or you can comment if it’s something you would buy or nah.
From now on, I will also post my
polymer clays creations on my blog. Hope it’s not too much with my
illustrations.
This MINE BOUI (noodles) was made with polymer clay. But all of the above was my old collections with air dry clay.
Good luck along your creative
journey!
Laurie.
