I have been having so much fun adding to my miniature collection recently. The potatoes made from fimo clay has been the most enjoyable project to do so far. It was not all plain sailing at first. The pattern I obtained online gave the temperature for the oven at 260 degrees and without thinking (and not bothering to look at the pack of clay instructions) I put the temp up to 260 degs C - needless to say it burnt in under 2 minutes. I was so annoyed after all my hard work. They were past saving so ended up in the bin. Determined to get it right I read the packet of clay (well done Sherlock!) and this time set the oven at the right temperature. It says on the project instructions to bake for 10 mins but it started to discolour after being in for 4 mins with the result that some potatoes (noticeably the cut ones) browned a little. Well most of them were fine and I decided to use the cut brown ones as roast potatoes rather than throw them away. On the whole I was very pleased with the results.
My next project is going to be making oranges from fimo. Fingers crossed it works - will let you know.
