Balloons and Honeydukes

I've been getting a lot of balloon animal orders this past week. Here are some photos:

poodles and giraffes

I also finished my honeydukes tray set that I started making in 2011. Not bad!

Balloon Animals

I've been making a lot of non-food minis lately, and it's because I ran out of foods to make. I am always asking the hubs for ideas and I think it drives him crazy! Anywho, I wanted to make Maru a toy, so I made her a Jeff Koons inspired (he was probably inspired by the actual balloon) poodle balloon.

The ones behind the poodles are giraffes. Making them was trickier than I expected, but I somehow managed to find the perfect amount of liquid clay so the neck/head doesn't plop. *These are made from polymer clay.

Enjoy your weekend!
