Miniatures - FINISHED!!!!
I really rock sometimes, if I may say so. (I know, I don't suffer from modesty).
I finished my initial round of miniatures for the Momoko kitchen. Mostly, they are what you saw in the work-in-progress shots, plus some random bits, like yogurt tubs made from toothpaste caps.
YAY! It's just like old times in Russia, when I used to make everything for my dolls (except now I have Google, and Photoshop, and a good printer, and graphic design skillz ^_^ )
So. Who wants to know how I did these buggers?
Ok. On the left we've got 3 tubs of yogurt. Labels came from trawlling the Google. The lids were sort of winged - I took part of the side label and filled in where it needed it to make it into a circle. The templates were made by the age-old respected tradition of winging it. I was all set to remember my geometry, and even recalled a couple of formulas, and then I was like, oh, wtf, and wrapped a piece of paper around the cap, traced the borders, and scanned the sucker.
Cans and jars came with the furniture set. I painted the tops and bottoms with silver for the cans, and the jars got golden lids. Labels are from the internet for the jars and the tomato cans. The canned fruit labels I designed in the best traditions of Re-Ment - instead of "Del Monte" the label reads "Ful Monte" ^_^
The soap thing came with the set. It used to be lavender ^_^ The bottles started out as dirty ivory.
The dressing bottle started its life as a hard liquor from Gloria set. I decided to rehab it, because I feel that its shape is much better suited to be a dressing bottle.
I designed the labels for the bags. I decided that one will be string beans and the other - fava beans. The apples had to be red delicious. The UPC codes had nothing to do with anything, they're probably not even scannable at this point.
