Polymer Clay Miniature Sweets - Candy & Desserts

This is a video of some miniature food that I made with polymer clay. You could also consider them re-ments. They were really fun to make and didn't take much time either (about 2 days). They are smaller than your finger nail and each individual piece is handmade, textured, shaded, etc. However, the extras (tea set dishes and clothes) were purchased from Hobby Lobby.

A few shots of the finished product (which are viewed in the video as well)

Like many of my creations, this was inspired by Stephanie Kilgast on flickr.

Handmade Rements - Coffee Shop Pastries

This is a video about my first handmade rements.

What are "re-ments"?
RE-MENT Co., Ltd. (株式会社リーメント Kabushikigaisha-Riiment?), located in Chiyoda Tokyo, is a Japanese manufacturer of collectible plastic toys. The company's name is derived from a combination of the phrase "reform the entertainment", alluding to their desire for innovation in the toy market. Established in 1998, Re-Ment currently sells a line of highly-detailed miniature food, furniture and animal figures as well as mobile phone charms, doll fashions and magnets.

Instead of buying re-ments, I thought it would be a lot more fun to make them myself! This re-ment set is of different pastries that you would normally find in a coffee shop.
