Don't want to bore you with all the rabbit pictures, but here are some more.. A family picture, seem like there were 4 babies, I think 2 of them will have to move when they get old enough ;) But 2 will stay at my dollhouse, with the mother. =)
And I guess this is the rabbit father, he has shorter fur than the rest, it was fun to try cutting it shorter =)
I don't know if I'm done with rabbits for now, we will have to wait and see, there might be more, just because I like making them =) And there are so many more colours to try... =)
One day I realized I had quite a lot of air-drying-clay left. I thought I should work on that a bit more. (I made a few ice cream cones before) But when I found it, it was all dry =( Note to self: NEVER forget air dry clay!
I had a short cry (another note: never find destroyed mini-material once pregnant and extra sensitive) But then I thought I had to try if there was anything useful left. I got to make a few ice creams, and then I realized I could soften some of the clay with water, doesn't look like it was before, but it was OK I think. I had a lot of hard work to make just a few ice creams. I might try to use some more another day, I got so sick of this stupid thing I had to take a break. The cones are polymer clay and the ice cream is that air dry clay that drives me mad =)
I thought it would be easy with air dry clay, no oven, just wait and it's done, and you can make it in containers that doesn't stand the oven.. but.. polymer clay doesn't dry like that stupid thing, I think I'll stick to that! =) So I was back to "normal" clay again..
Like I said before, I made a few cakes for my daughter, and I did make some for me too =) Tried using liquid clay on the left one, wasn't a success.. Have to practice a bit more.. and the right one was far from perfect too.. More practice I guess...
And some stones for my Fantasy garden, which one do You like the best?
With white and brown eyes, just the brown or no eyes?? I can't decide which one I like the best.. I have been working on more magical fantasy stuff, but I'll show that later. The tree, anyone remember that?! Haven't gotten any further with that.. =( I got stuck on the boring leafs..
But I made a few paper minis too, some packings for the kitchen, and then these train puzzles I showed in my last post. Here is a close up, here you can see how you can move the parts =)
And the Glow-in-the-dark-stars (also from the last post) in place at the roof at my nursery. It was a bit difficult to photograph them.. But I tried to show you them in different lights/darkness.

And some final pictures of things I picked up on our vacation =)
I visited Dockbutiken, I had a great time, a small store (with a big web shop), so many things to look at! I can't believe I had this much character, to go out of that store and not bring half of it with me home.. ;) There were also a lot of dolls I would have loved to bring home!
And my mother-in-law saw these on a supermarket, very cheep tools for my clay.
Btw, do you remember the buyer that scammed me on Etsy/paypal?! I just found out I was far from the only one, she has scammed a lot of people now.. I wish Etsy and Paypal could arrange something that made it possible to block people like that.. Well, I'm glad I got to know the truth now, and I feel better knowing I didn't do anything wrong, not the post-office either, she was just dishonest.
Hope you all have vacation too =) And are enjoying summer, if there is summer now at your place too! (We do have summer, but it has been a bit hard to see, since it has been a bit too cold for my taste this summer..)
Take care
Hannah
Me encantan los conejos. De las piedras la que mas me gusta es la del centro.
ReplyDelete¡Felices vacaciones!
Thank you Isabel! And thanks for letting me know what stone you did prefer =)
DeleteYou have a gift for making bunnies, once again they are adorable! I think the ice creams look very yummy and the stone faces are very clever. The ones with coloured eyes seem a bit creepy to me. I like the one on the right, he appears to be thinking ancient thoughts of ages past.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan!
DeleteI was wondering if the colour made it too creepy, and I wanted the stones to look really old. (I might add some moss later) And the thing about thinking ancient thoughts from the past, that sounds just like I want it! Thanks for the input!!
Hejsan,
ReplyDeleteI love your bunnies and the stone faces for your Fantasy Garden are marvellous!
I was very interested to read about your experiences with different kinds of clays. I have just recently started to try with air-dry clays and I really like the fact that you do not have to bake them. But I must admit that I am a bit concerned about storing them properly.
Have a nice day!
Minna
Thank you Minna!
DeleteI stored my air dry clay in a plastic bag, in a drawer. I think it might be better to store it in a bag and then in a plastic box of some kind too. Tthat could keep out the air better, but I don't know.. I hope you manage to store it better than me! =)
Fab bunnies and miniatures, I love the little train picture puzzle. Great tools too, you will have fun with those.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that scammer has been found out!
Enjoy the rest of summer, Irish summer has been and gone I think, bit cloudy and rainy (ours lasts only a few days :D )
Thank you Sarah!
DeleteThey use to joke here that Swedish summer is great, the day it last... =) I like high temperatures, this summer I'm just cold most of the time.. I take every opportunity I get to stay out on the glass balcony once sunny, there it can get really hot and cosy =)
Hi! I Love your bunnies, they are so adorable! <3 And the Ice creams look so delicious. Hmmm which one of the stone faces ... The one with no eyes...!
ReplyDeleteGood that you found out about the scammer!
Great miniatures, love the tiny metal containers!
Have happy days!
Hugs
Kikka
Thank you Kikka!
DeleteI like the metal containers too, I hope to print some labels for them later =)
Замечательные кролики и каменные лица! Мне нравится лицо справа. Без нарисованных глаз. Мороженое выглядит очень аппетитно!

Thank you Tatiana!
DeleteAs far as I am concerned you could show bunnies and even more bunnies in every new post - what a cute family. I'm sorry to hear about your trouble with the air-dry clay... I've tried Wepam (a cold porcelain) lately and I find this very different from my usual polymer clay (Fimo in my case)... I have difficulties to roll it plain and smooth for example... but in some cases it's very convenient and so far I have no troubles with the texture. It came in a plastic bag in a plastic container and this works well. And I see you're a tough lady... being able to resist all those temptations in that store. About your stones - (surprise) I like them all. The right one is maybe the best choice as a stone or stepping stone in a garden (I would not want to tread on the left one... *teehee*) but any version is full of character.

Thank you Birgit! I'll try storing the air dry clay in a plastic container too, not just a bag..
DeleteYes, I like to see your cute bunnies every time, please! I love them and your ice creams and cakes so much! Thanks for all of the close-up shots of your work. The tiny puzzle is amazing! Glad you got to enjoy a nice holiday. Great news about that scammer. That's usually how they work, taking advantage of as many people as possible. :-( But now you know that you weren't personally targeted, which is a relief. xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer!
DeleteEven better news about the scammer, I got my money back! =) I did send her two products, and paid the postage for that, but I got the money back for the first one at least and that feels great!
The bunnies are adorable. About your garden stones, I like them all especially the
ReplyDeletethird on the right side. It has a very pleased expression on his face.

Thank you Drora!

Tack för en härlig titt.
