As one skill’s improve, we tend to re-visit previous failed projects. I am working on a new food tray series for the show and to eventually list online as miniature collectible items.
Built this project on a whim but it did turn out better than I expected. I would like to complete this piece later on with a miniature bear with an apron and ice cream scooper and some nice tiled flooring for a base.
Got this idea from another miniature artist but I changed several things around to make it my own design. “Japanese” style miniatures are the most creative and appealing in design (just my opinion!)
