Recently I have seen some great works of art made from icing.
Tiny people and even ginger bread houses, as well as beautifully decorated patty cakes.
But, I can't bear to eat them, (therefore destroy them), and of course they are no good as decoration, because they will become an attraction for insects and even mice.
It is so easy to make miniature food in plaster filler, which has the same consistency and can be coloured with food coloring.
Plaster filler is available at hardware shops, is cheap and you can either mix your own or buy it ready mixed.
It is cheaper then FIMO or DAS, and is slightly thinner, so it can be piped and painted with water colours.
So have a go at making some miniature patty cakes for you miniature dolls!

Someone asked me about the Photos
A friend asked me about the backgrounds used in the photos.
The DollYogue bridal photos were all my original art work. for example, Doll Renee rides her black horse at the seaside.. The background is a painting of mine and it works well. I could have used a photo of the shore, but I preferred the painting.
Other times I used a little "stage" where I positioned the dolls as if they were in a photographic studio.
In the slideshow of the Doll Tate art gallery, all the mini paintings are my work and the sculptures are my own work too.
Some of the dolls have been repainted to represent the real children, while others have been molded by me. In the slideshow way down, are Aprils doll photos. I painted all these reproduction dolls.(except the french one), as well as the mini food and clothing. You are looking at collections which I have added to and created over a period of 25 years..

I've decided that it's always Christmas at my dolls house (s). Christmas has already come and gone, and I didn't really "play" with my Dolls house much. I did clean the Christmas room, and I dusted with a beauty brush and took more Photos.
Like other Doll people, I realise that I get the biggest buzz from taking the photos.. so I will put up a few more. Unfortunately the "film" is lagging behind for lack of motivation.
I've also toyed with making a DollVogue Summer Bride magazine.
If anyone is interested in purchasing this 8 page E book, with the special mini page ready to fold into a mini book, let me know. Here is a picture of the cover, and a glimpse of the contents.
A free pattern is included and it can be modified to another scale.
Designing a Bridal outfit for your doll - deciding on the era from Tudor to Modern, Making miniature garments, Modifying a basic pattern, Making a special dress to drape on the bed and Making a simple veil/hat and flower garland.
$5.00 USD
Enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy!
