Miniature Schnauzer meets miniature Schnauzer.
Was it love at first sight? No, he was probably put off by the fact she had a beard. A pretty dirty one too.
You can pretty much ignore these pics...I'm playing with photoshop, and tried the Tilt Shift fake editing (making real life scenes/objects looking miniature) for the first time ^_^
I just got my Gargantuan Black Dragon today, so I thought it would be neat to line up all the dragons of differente sizes for a comparison.
Gao lak, gao lak! Who wants a bag of freshly roasted gao lak (chestnuts)?!
I'm always drawn by the fresh aroma of the churning charcoal wafting from the mobile chestnut cart.
Made these miniature chestnuts for a special commission (all of these goes into a tiny glass jar). I happened to be eating the real ones during my trip, and so I saved a few from the bag, and brought them all the way back to my sculpting table for reference lol.
First attempt at miniature cakes. Madeira cake filled with raspberry jam and buttercream layer, then covered and decorated with fondant.
A new design was born in our paper garden - Yucca flower! :-) Got the inspiration from the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico, where Yucca is the state flower. So continuing our miniature Oribana project... and here is our new mini-oribana called ENCHANTMENT !
Especially designed for our upcoming exhibition in Albuquerque, NM, this origami Yucca flower will be a part of our 'Albuquerque Kingdom' origami display at Pacific Coast Origami Convention in Albuquerque this October where Yuri and I were invited as special guest-artists. Check it out - origamiusa.org/pcoc2013 :-) By the way, the exhibition will be at the Marriott Pyramid Hotel and on Saturday and Sunday, October 5th and 6th the exhibit will be free to the public!
Besides this brand new Yucca, the composition is featuring our design of Low Bowl-Shaped Vase. The vase is 3.5 cm (1-1/4") high. Each tiny Yucca flower, folded from 4-cm (1-1/2-inch) square, is just 15mm (1/2inch) long. The whole arrangement is 4 inches(10 cm) high.
Used a variety of Japanese papers here, origami paper for tiny Yucca blooms & leaves and gorgeous chiyogami for the vase,
Note for origami enthusiasts: The step-by-step diagrams on how to fold tour Yucca flower will be published in the convention book PCOC-2013 and will be in the convention package. See detail at origamiusa.org/pcoc2013.
As for the vase, its diagrams are published in our ORIBANA DELIGHT collection

You should have one. Or two. These spunky little dogs are like Pringles--you know you shouldn't, but you just can't help yourself. So enjoy a MinPin today!
Beauregard encounters an enormous beetle while on safari in the mums. (Preiser train figure)
The challenge on this was positioning the figure before the beetle could run around to the other side of the flower - a bit of mumbling and muttering took place...
4" & 2" fruit cake. I really enjoyed making this one. It took 2nd prize on Open Section. I lost to Master Decorator who won second prize in Master Wedding cake. I was pretty pleased :)
