I finally made something new. And took some pictures. I've been feeling very flat and unmotivated for the past few months.
I found a wonderful tutorial by ToniEllison for milk and cereal. It was fun if very time consuming to make. I need to do something about my bowls, they're not very good. And next time I think I'll make a little 'splash' to put at the base of the poured milk.
I think they look funny baking in the oven. I got a new toaster oven from the OP shop, but I didn't notice that it doesn't actually have a temperature control dial. Only options for heating from the top, bottom or both at once. Welp, at least it's smaller than my previous hulking beast at least?
I made three of them, with the red skim milk in the plain bowl being my favourite. It's also the one I made last so it has the least mistakes. I made an extra bowl of cereal with a spoon because I had so many left over cereal flakes.
I made the milk stream too high for Sylvanians. Mama Neptune had to stand on a chair to pour this. The stream works well with 1/6 dolls, though.
Shelly: Mama, where does milk come from?
Narrisa: Ducks, dear. Mr Waddlington delivers the milk.
Shelly: No, I mean WHERE does it come from? The carton has a picture of a cow on it, does this mean that Mrs Buttercup makes it herself--
Narrisa: Never you mind. Eat your cereal.
Yeah, where does Sylvanian milk come from anyway?
The bowls look fantastic! Gorgeous job! :) I should take a look at her tutorial. About the milk... Yep, I also wondered about that fact O.o :D
ReplyDeletegreate! looks like real milk
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about milk in Sylvania! Mostly I work on the basis that they're vegan, as I can't imagine them slaughtering the male calves for their sunday roast...
ReplyDeleteFab make by the way!
They look great! Terrific job!
ReplyDeleteI love the little story you put in too! XD

Oh! Que lindo trabalho! Eu quero leite com cereais para minha FamÃlia Coelhos Chocolate! ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yes, milk and beef - and pork - will always be a mystery in Sylvania!
ReplyDeleteWow! The cereal bowls turned out really great! They look so real! I love how you managed to make the milk "pour out". I just love seeing the stuff you make, you are so talented ^^
