Fimo miniatures and easter candle decoration

    
       Hello! I've been busy these days working on my polymer clay miniatures that my goddaughter loves so much so I can use them as decoration on the easter candle I prepared for her.

        So, I started with some chocolate chip fimo biscuits:
 






         And then a little waffle with vanilla ice cream and cherries:



       I added some syrup: 


         
       And then I made some ham, cheese and lettuce sandwiches:


        But there were some pastel polymer clay leftovers and so I used them as scoops to make an ice cream:







      Finally I glued some of these on the hair accessories I bought for the little princess, and here is the result:






      
       Then I bought two plain easter candles, one for her and one for the little brother ;-) I decorated them with some ribbon for a start:


      Some painting decoration:

 
 
   Then I placed the hair accessories on the pink one:




    And here are the easter candles (and their wrappings) ready to be given as presents to the little ones! :

Upcycled baby drawer



       Finally I managed to spend some time on a project for my two new expected sweethearts! I had this old drawer that took some repair with PVA glue and some screws, some cleaning of course and polishing too :












            Then I used some paint and an old Japanese comic t-shirt for decoration:






              And the result looks approximately like this:  








               Any ideas to improve this?

The toilet paper roll mirror frame

       
 

     A few months ago I started collecting the toilet paper rolls with no purpose in particular. Then I thought about wrapping around them pieces of ribbons and old cloth, any kind of useless fabric that somehow ended in my ultimate collection of garbage...
 
  
    
      Then I came with the idea of making a mirror out of them. So I used a rectangular piece of MDF 80 X 65 cm and painted the 10 cm thick part that would become the frame with chrome effect color spray. I glued a 60 X 45 cm sized mirror on the MDF using silicon glue:


  

      After 24 hours I started gluing the rolls on the frame with PVA glue:


     

      I forgot to mention that I partially painted the inner tube of the rolls (the mirror side)

       

      And here is the result:





    I'm thinking about installing lights through the rolls for a greater effect! Voila my new bedroom mirror!
