Miniatures artist Scarr makes wonderfully realistic food from polymer clay (which should be kept away from small children). Her book is full of step-by-step projects for bakery goods, meats, fruits, and vegetables, all photographed in great detail. These pieces are intended for a miniature market stall project with awning and crates and can also be used in dollhouse kitchens and pantries.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

The intricate detail will enchant you--and inspire you to creative heights as you make mouthwatering works of miniature art! A master modeler reveals the tricks of molding marvelously realistic fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, cheeses, breads, pastries, and cakes--plus stands and boxes for displaying them. Just imagine a small produce stand, for example, covered with a brightly striped canopy and filled with crates of tiny oranges, apples, cauliflowers, cabbages, ripe red tomatoes, and luscious-looking corn. Complete the effect by hanging bunches of bananas from the wooden beams. The fish market even has a blackboard where you can write "today's specials." Techniques include simple and advanced caning, stacking, color blending, and more. If you love dollhouses, think how much pleasure you'll have adding to your diminutive world.
