The Candy Shoppe!

It might just be me (but I am pretty sure it isn't), but doesn't candy just make you happier?! Maybe not even eating it (although that helps)- just looking at it makes me happy! All the colors! And textures! And not to mention the smells!

Well as you might can tell, I am on a candy kick! Not only have I been making a lot of candy- I have been planning a candy-themed project! I do not know the extent of how big this will be, or how long I will be working on it- but I DO know that it will involve all the sugar and chocolate and yumminess that I can whip up!

As you can see in the image above, I have been making a LOT of candy! I have been making more of the past favorites like jelly beans, candy corn, and chocolate turtles- along with some new candies! I have some caramel creams (one of my all-time favorite candies), orange slices, gum drops, various chocolates, and also rock candy!

Making miniatures isn't the easiest thing in the world- especially CANDY! Not only do they need to look realistic, but so many have to be made! Honestly, the easiest thing about making miniature candy is how easy it is to lose your mind! Haha! But that's okay for us miniature artists- we already all mad!



I am still not sure when some of the candies will be available. I want to make sure I have enough for a couple listings and I am also going to keep some for a personal project I want to do! :)

I will keep you guys posted as I work, as always!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sugar Coated Goodness!

Hey guys!

 

So over the last few days I have been in "rehabilitation mode." I have been laying around in my PJs while eating and drinking all the bagels and home-made iced coffee drinks I can handle. And you know what.... It's working!

 

 

Not only have I been back in the mood to create, but I sprouted some new ideas! Ideas that I won't share JUST yet.... ideas that involve a lot more planning and working, so for now~ Here is what I have been working on!

 

 

As you can recall from the last blog post I was painting barrels! Those barrels have now been promoted to holding CANDY!

 

These barrels are right under an inch, just to give an idea at how small the candies are. As for the candy itself- I have been making some new things! Candy orange slices! And gum drops! There are also some chocolate turtles pictured like the ones I made for Valentine's Day!

 

I also played around with some more chocolate! These are chocolate and peanut squares. (So... chocolate bark? Idk!?)

 

I've been having a ball working on little candies! So expect some more very soon! I am not entirely sure when I will have new things in the Etsy shoppe just yet (but I'm hoping soon also)!

 

Thanks, as always, for stopping by! I decided to not take summer classes after all, so I am going to relax for a couple months and get back to my miniatures!

 

I hope you all are doing well!
