Mushroom Forest Dollhouse Plates Completed.

I finished the second set of plates that I plan to use in my 1:12 scale kitchen. Even though the clay turned out a little more tan than beige, I think I am really quite satisfied with the finished product. 🙂 I had a lot of fun making my plates, and I’d really like to make more, but I recently decided it was high time I tried to work on my handmade BJD project again, so currently my workspace is tied up. Normally I wouldn’t mind having more than one project going at once, but considering the BJD I am making is made from LaDoll and the plates are polymer clay, I figure it’s best to keep those two things well away from each other.

Again it seems there needs to be more time in a day and more workspace available. I imagine if I weren’t dividing my time between dolly crafts and comic work I would have more progress to show, but alas comic work pays and dolly work does not….at least not yet. I am still considering selling some of my plates. When I finally get around to setting up shop I’ll be sure to post a link. 😉

My progress on 1:12 scale polymer clay plates

I finished my first set of plates today, and they are the ones you can see in the picture. I hand painted the design and glossed them up so they look glazed. I have a total of 6 “Spring Green” plates and bowls which is the design above, and I am only keeping 3 of each, so I think I will be offering these for sale, but I don’t plan to put them up on etsy until I finish my “Mushroom Forest” plates and perhaps make some 1:12 scale table runners to match.

I’ve been way into polymer clay as of late, and I still need to try out those mini cutters from the previous post, but I’m also feeling the creative urge to get started on making the kitchen cabinetry. LOL, here I am jumping the gun and making plates before I even have a place to store them. XD Fuuu~ there needs to be more time in the day…

Making 1:12 Scale Polymer Clay Dishes

I felt like making a set of custom dishes for my 1:12 scale dollhouse, so after reviewing some tutorials online I played around with creating some plates and bowls. I ended up having a lot of fun and sorta getting in the zone while creating these that I ended up making quite a lot. XD

At this point all of the plates and bowls have been fired and I’m working on sanding and refining them. The beige plates turned out a little darker after firing than I wanted. I was aiming for more of an off-white plate, so I may wind up painting them a lighter color. I also have plans to attempt to paint some designs on all of the plates. The beige plates I made specifically to match my kitchen and I wanted to do a red mushroom motif on them. I’m not certain what I want to do with the white plates and bowls. Originally I imagined doing something a little shabby chic looking, but the style of dishes might not lend to that. Maybe it’s time to review Crate and Barrel’s dish designs, lol.

I think I made more than I need, and I kind of feel like experimenting more with the polymer clay, so I may wind up making some of these to sell as well. If I do offer any for sale I’ll be sure to make a posting.
