Updates on Projects and Purchases

Good morning! Was busy but I managed to have some fun stuffs done in between my schedule. Let's get started.

Mini chocolate shaver, RM 2.5 from local baking supply shop
Found this cute chocolate shaver in a local supply store while buying some baking trays and the first thought coming to my mind was "this is definitely designed for miniatures" xD Well, it definitely can be used to shave some chocolate toppings on cakes, and in this case, the polymer clay miniature cakes.

Mini glass bottles and fitted corks, RM 8.8 for 10, off eBay.
Time for charm in a bottle! Been looking at ideas on bottled charms for some time and thought I could starting creating some really small charms in small bottles like this. Purchased these 24 x 11 mm glass bottles from China seller at a cheap price off eBay Malaysia and will be showing you the first (trial) bottled charm below.

Ta-Da! The first (but ugly) trial in making a bottled charm.
There you go! My first bottled charm made with a coconut tree on a small lonely island. The bottle was filled with glycerine and then sealed with glue. The glycerine distorted the coconut tree a little to look stumpier and shorter. I too have a problem making the sea look "right"; where I used translucent clay with a tinge of blue clay, but it did not look translucent at all... To be honest I had some difficulty sourcing resin... They are not cheap when it comes to EasyCast or similar things here (talking about something more than RM 50.0) in the local art supply stores. And beading.my has stopped selling epoxy resin ever since they fully converted their business to online store. If you guys have any idea where to buy epoxy resin at an affordable price, let me know!

Second master piece - bird in a bottle, diameter about 1 cm.

A small teaser:
To be revealed. . . . . 
This would be a big one! :P I still need to make up some more detail and to add one more character into it to call it done. So stay tuned!
