Yesterday evening I opened the mail box and found a surprise that made me smile. :-)
It was a little parcel from Singapore.
I have known Cindy (Snowfern Clover) since 2009, the beginning that I joined the blogland. For me, the miniature world was totally new and I was that lucky to know her since she recommended me a lot of useful info and guided me in the tiny world. I know it’s not true but I felt somehow as if she were my classmate in the school; we played and studied ‘technique’ of mini food together. It’s a special friendship for me in the world of miniatures.
What I got from her is a bowl of salads, a sandwich, some cigarette cases and several empty plastic boxes she made for me. I was speechless when looking at her works. The colors and shape are perfectly made. Cindy! You arouse my will to work on vegetable and fruits.
I have some dolls in 1:4 scale but they are still in my parents’ home so I asked my Momoko doll to work as a temporary. :P (Her little bunny in black is as adorable as her, right?! ) Thank you Cindy, I definitely treasure these amazing pieces of yours.
Welcome to visit Cindy’s blog; you will find lots of useful tips and treasure there!
From the very beginning I was crazy about collecting dolls between 2002-2004. I almost collected 20 momoko dolls, 60 Jenny dolls, around 25 Barbie and several Blyth and Pullip. 
Since 95% of my dolls is 1/6 scale; 5% is 1/4 scale (Tyler & Sydney Dolls), I tried to look for everything, inclusive of clothes, suits, shoes, pets, sofa, desks, motorbikes, and boyfriends in 1/6 scale for my dolls.
So, it's quite natural for me to sculpt 1/6 scale mini food when I started. 
When I make up my mind to do a usual practice of 1/12 scale miniature, I just understnd it's more difficult to do it than in 1/6. Sometimes I doubt if I could not control well my fingers and sculpt the right shapes and texture.
Maybe my question is stupid but I'd like to know if all the miniaturists practice and play with clay at home themselves to have very good kong-fu or... it's possible to find some masters who give lessons in miniatures?
Ok, I almost finish the 4th post in July. It's also a very good opportunity to practice my English. Thanks for the patience to read my post. Have a nice evening! ;-)
