1) rice balls! i was experimenting with the finer points of the faces. the one with the HUGE eyes is a mutant, because i kept making them loppysidey, so they kept getting bigger and bigger. the seaweed diapers are actually a dark green. 1/2" tall.
2) ice cream and lollipops. ice cream is 1 1/2" tall (far too big, but it was just a prototype), lollipops are 1" - 1 1/4" tall.
3) swirly heart. mmm, pearly. 1/2" tall.
4) Hershey's Kiss. they're wrapped in
real gold/silver/copper leaf, and range from 5/8" to 3/4" tall.
5) fish bones! i know you can't see it, but the eye hole goes all the way through. 1" tall.
6) shroom. more pearly goodness. the photo doesn't do it justice. 1" tall.
7) pegasus! painting with pearly inks is nerve-racking, because it crazy-magnifies every imperfection. this came out quite well, although he's more yellow and less gold irl. the wings gave me rage-seizures, because they either wouldn't match, or i would drop/lose them. it finally worked out. *proud* 1 1/4" tall.
8) dolphin. adorably squishy. 1/2" tall, 3/4" long.
9) big kitty. with sparkly gold eyes. 1 3/8" tall.
10) lil kitty. can be painted to your specifications. 3/4" tall.
the lollipops are $3. small swirly hearts are $4. larger swirly hearts, rice balls, fishbones, and small kitties are $5. ice cream cones, shrooms, and dolphins are $6. big kitties are $8. Kisses are $10 (because that's real gold/silver leaf. real as in
real. 24k or something.) the pegasus is n/a, because i'm not making any more of them. did i miss anything?
i can make any of this stuff into jewelry, if you'd like, too. check
here for details.
