This
week's project is a really easy breakfast in both mini and real life,
the breakfast sandwich. We are again using some of the English
muffins we made a few weeks ago, that video is here if you haven't
seen it yet.
I
think most of us have eaten a breakfast sandwich at some time or
another either homemade or from the local fast food joint. I figured
your dollhouse family might need to have the same convenience of a
quick to grab breakfast. This is a super easy project you can tell
that partly by the short length of the video. This would be another
great beginner project and a subject that a lot of younger
miniaturists can identify with.
Again
we are using some left over clays for some of the elements.
For
the meat layer I used a bit of the clay that was left over from the
Bacon video, I am pretty sure this was the lightest of the clay
colors from that project. The directions for that mixture are here.
Really though the exact color isn't critical in this just make up a
light brownish pink color.
For
the egg I used a bit of the white/ translucent mix that I use a lot
for food. Just equal parts of the two colors are all you need.
For
the cheese I found that some Sculpy III in the color sweet potato was
perfect. Also the fact that the clay is so soft won't be a problem in
this project. Just use whatever clay you have in a cheesy color. Be
sure to roll the cheese layer out very thin to get the melted cheese
look.
In
fact getting the clay thin enough is probably the hardest part of
this project. We are going to have 5 layers by the time we have the
sandwich completed. Each layer needs to be thin enough or your
sandwich will be way to tall to look believe able.
At
the very end it does help to coat just the cheese with some kind of
gloss finish to make it look a bit greasy and melted.
