Hello! My name is Ashley. This is a blog for my polymer clay creations! I'm a homeschooled teenager, and I picked up this hobby about 2 years ago. I hope you enjoy!

Tacos!!! Who doesn't like them?
I personally love a good taco salad! I pre-baked the shells, so as not to mess them up. I mixed the clay with sand to create a nice grainy taco look (for more info. on how I did that, look back to my nacho tutorial).
Dollhouse Banana Nut Muffins
I have always LOVED banana nut muffins among all foods, I've long wanted to sculpt some out of polymer clay, but I've never before been able to get the right texture of muffins. It's sounds down right silly now, but it's challenging! I placed some pecans and a banana peel for decoration. To make the muffins, and the banana slices, I used SugarCharmShop's brownie technique, except in muffin form (if that makes any sense to you guys). Leave a comment if you have a question! :D By the by, sorry about the blog format, I'm having trouble adjusting theme and color..
Brownies!+TUTORIAL
Dollhouse sprinkles cake
I sculpted this adorable mini after I watched Toniellison's birthday cake tutorial on YouTube! I switched it up a bit.....but there's ice cream! I used deco sauce instead of TLS to make the chocolate.

Pizza- From old to New
Pizza has been one of the hardest miniatures for me to make. Getting the right texture, color of cheese, pepperoni. These pizzas have been made from 2 years ago until now. Even though pizzas are so hard to make, I always think they are the most fun project! :)

Breakfast Collection! + eggs,bacon, and pancakes TUTORIAL
I absolutely LOVE breakfast food! I found new techniques for making eggs, and pancakes! I know that eggs are extremely hard to make, mostly because of the texture. Okay let's get to it!
Eggs- SUPPLIES
1. Racoon Honey white whipped cream clay (sold on Etsy.com)
2. Yellow clay
TUTORIAL
First, squeeze out some of the whipped cream clay, and then add a small amount of yellow clay. Mix it in, but not thoroughly, so that their are still some yellow, and white clumps. Then, arrange it (but don't try to smooth out the texture) on a plate, or whatever you choose.Bake it, then you're done! It's so easy, that it's annoying to think that I didn't figure this out sooner!
Bacon- SUPPLIES
1. blush pink clay, and translucent
2. dark brown chalk pastels, a blade, and a brush
TUTORIAL
First, take pink and mix it with translucent. Now, roll it through a pasta machine, or just use a roller. Roll out a layer of translucent at the same setting. Then, stack them, and slice half and stack that. Now, press it down into the size you want. Now, take the pastels and color the bacon, to make it look browner and cooked. Arrange how you want, then bake!
pancakes- YouTube tutorial on heart pancakes! The technique is great! Just look up polymer clay heart pancakes.
I hope this helped!

Earring Overdose!
Here are the rest of the earrings I made from "updated techniques" so far, but this is only half the list that I've done! I can't wait to sculpt some more this week. It's hot over here, so I think I'll have enough indoor time to get to it! Have a great July guys! :D
Sandwich Earrings!- TUTORIAL
Well, I was looking through my collection of miniatures, and I noticed that a LOT of my techniques were outdated, so I made a list of things to remake using the techniques I've picked up over the last year. I LOVE sandwiches, so this was the first on the list!
SUPPLIES
1. Tan, white, translucent, green, pink, and orange clay
2. Yellow,brush,brown/black and orange chalk pastels
3. Assorted clay tools (blade, needle-tool, ball-ended tool)
4. Earring posts, super glue, and glaze
TUTORIAL
First, mix together the tan, white, and translucent clay (mix them thoroughly, I didn't and I regret that. So, heads up!). Next, make a loaf shape, and use the brush and yellow/orange pastels, to color the crust of the bread. Now, place it in the freezer, and now clean off your work place, so we can start on the ham! While the "bread" is in the freezer, mix the pink clay (to be more specific, the Sculpey brand has a blush pink color, that you should use for the ham). with translucent, and this time do not mix it too thoroughly so that it looks like the ham has fatty parts in it! Next, shape it into a ham form and use the brown/black pastels to color the rim of the ham. Now, you can start on the cheese! Take orange, and mix it with a lot of translucent, and roll it out, take your blade and make square cuts for the sandwiches. Then, take green clay and mix it with lots of translucent to make the lettuce. After all that is done, take the bread out of the freezer, and slice 4 pieces of bread. Texture the bread, by using a clay brush tool all over each slice of bread. Now, take a ball-ended tool and add random tiny holes all over the slices. Next, you can add all the different sandwich parts onto the bottom slices. Carefully place the top slice onto the sandwich after your done! (If you want to add condiments such as mayo, or mustard go ahead!). Now, bake at the specified temperature for ten minutes. After that, glaze the ham, cheese, and lettuce! Add the earring posts, and now you have delightfully adorable sandwich earrings! I hope you had as much making this project as I did :D

Hamburger Earrings
I think this project came out very well! The trick to making these sort of projects into earring without flattening them, is to just slice them in half (before that pop them in the freezer for a while). The tutorial I watched for the hamburger, is by SugarCharmShop on YouTube. I think you guys will really like this project! ^^
