Clay Art - Care for some nice desserts?

Reposting because I was going through my daughter's old artwork for her portfolio when she goes to college and this is what I found. She is very crafty! She had not done any clay art lately because she is busy with her school and other teen stuff. I hope she considers making some cute miniature clay art again. Maybe this time, it'll be more elaborate.

--oOo--

This project was created by my daughter few months ago (May 2008). I happen to misplace the SD so was unable to upload the photos. It's now available for viewing!


She used a normal modelling clay only; thus it's not the baking kind.

Care for some desserts?






The Treats! Muffins, cakes, cereal, orange juice, pretzels, bowl of cookies, cheesecake, glazed donuts, plain donuts, cinnamon rolls and toasted breads with jam...
















Bowl full of assorted cookies...yummy!

Easter Bunny cake

Google Cake















Wedding Cake with cake topper









Below is a closer look of the treats...

Shaun the Sheep

My daughter and I are big fans of clay arts as evident in my arts and craft posts in the past. That goes without saying that we are also a huge fan of clay art animations like Wallace and Gromit and the not-so-new Shaun the Sheep. Unfortunately, this short clay animation is not shown in this country but I do get to watch their video clips and those are enough to leave me in stitches. He is simply the cutest little sheep rascal I have ever seen. Don't be fooled with his beady eyes and serene appearance because he has a lot of mischief up his sleeves!

I do encourage you to see this short animation if it is available in your country. This could be a good source of inspiration for my next clay art project...hmmmm. I'll be needing tons of polymer clay then!

Clay Art - Christmas Collection Part 2 (A)

Here's the next part of our ingenious clay art project. I am amazed by the ideas that come to my daughter's head. She'd tell me what she wanted to do and direct me on the tips (and I never had a clue she knew all that!) on how to sculpt, roll, mould, texturize and cure the clay before baking our maestro. Well, these are Christmas Ornaments, as inspired by our friend Judith (I still owe her big time for introducing this Sculpey clay to me) of Artsy Clay. You should check her out too because she has amazing collections of original and creative clay art pieces.

Here's Mr. Pingu, the Christmas penguin. This is a 50-50 labor of love between me and my daughter. She shaped the penguin's body and beak while I did the decorations such as the santa hat and the long scarf.

The Christmas Holly made by my daughter.

Keeping warm during the cold, winter holidays with beannie and mittens created by my daughter.

Here's my Christmas Golden Star which I embellished with long beads and a gold star sequin for effect.

The Christmas Duckie (if there is one..LOL!) made by my princess. She used a cookie cutter for this duckie's shape.

Christmas Bauble of my daughter. She created lines against the bauble to create an illusion of "shimmer." I told her to use glitter instead but she insisted doing the linear texture and it came out great!

My Christmas snowflake. I had difficulty creating flakes with intricate design so I just balled up some clay and pressed them against line clays I cut from the batch. I scored some lines on the snowflake's balls to create effect using our sharp clay cutter tool.

Coming Soon - Clay Arts!

It's been a while since my daughter and I tinkered on our Sculpey clay arts. We have already made several collections for posting but need to take pictures of them first. We have made some sweet treats and fashionable handbag collections too but will post them later.

Christmas is fast approaching and our theme for our upcoming clay arts are ornaments. Watch out for our new collections soon on this space!

Miniature Yummy Treats

My daughter has improved a lot in the arts and craft department. I am so proud of what her teeny-tiny hands can do with the clay. Ever since we discovered a good brand of clay - Sculpey (thanks again to Arstyclay), she's been into modelling of small stuff.

Here are some of her recent project - the mini-clay treats (consist of sundae cones, donuts, hamburger, fries, onion rings, sunny side up & scrambled egg, tacos, pizza and a hot dog). Mouthwatering!







I wonder what my daughter will do next?
