Today was a good day to make bread–miniature size! Of all of the small food I’ve made so far, this was one of the easier tasks. Once I had the right color of clay mixed together for the bread “dough”, I just shaped the loaves and texturized them both inside (when showing) and out with the strange assortment of tools I have here in California.

I then used used pastel chalks to color the loaves, layering colors ranging from yellow to dark brown, trying to mimic where bread would darken in the oven. Liquid polymer with small lumps of red clay made realistic jelly.

The results are pretty good. This particular project kept me hungry all day!
