Green Slime

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:22:47 -0400

$6.00
Slime!
Slimy and cool on the fingers! (yet your fingers come away dry). Stretch it, snap it, let it 'melt', watch it flow, blow bubbles in it! Great for Christmas, and great for all ages (I play with it all the time myself! Stress reliever. So I recommend it for people who like executive toys.). When I made it when my cousins were over, my two little cousins (8 and 3 at the time), my two aunts, my uncle, my mother, my brother and I all sat around playing with it while we talked, it was a fantastic time. It's also fantastic for the classroom! (my main 'customers' are my mother's class of five year olds)

This listing is for 200 grams of slime, that will arrive to you in a plastic container. It lasts at least five weeks if put back into the container, and at least six months if not opened, and can be revived with hot water for a little longer life.

Do not give to children who still put things in their mouths, make sure to not let it come in contact with paper or fabric or anything that could be stained by food colouring traces.

If you'd like a certain colour or amount, just convo me!

This is also great for fundraising- ask me for a smaller amount in each container, or to put it in bags instead of containers, and then you can charge what you like as a resell- the profits can go to your fundraiser!

Dollhouse Miniature Candycorn-24 pieces

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:11:52 -0400

$3.50
These are 1:12 scale candycorn- you get 24 pieces with each order. They're handmade individually from polymer clay. There should be enough in the order to partially fill a crysenbon size bowl, or make your own! Please remember that sizes of the candycorn vary. If you'd like more than 24, please contact me and I'll list another.
These are an adult collectable and are not intended for children.
The bowl is not included.

Little Red Riding Hood Sculpture

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:04:28 -0400

$18.00
This two inch sculpture has been handsculpted from polymer clay, and is perfect for your little girl's bedroom, nursery or perhaps your own collection! Note the paw print on the path before her.

Her dress is blue and reminiscent of regency dresses for little girls. Her hair peeking out from under her hood is brown. She has no face, because I think it's more fun to imagine her expression.

Just in case of any confusion, this is not one of my 1:12 scale miniatures, but a small full sized figurine.

Dollhouse Miniature Penguin Figurine

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 23:40:56 -0400

$6.00
Do you have a modern dollhouse with a children's room? Does your dollhouse person like collecting penguins? Is it Christmas in the dollhouse? Well, here's a tiny penguin for your more modern dollhouse.

The size is shown in the photos. The penguin has had its photo taken with a dollhouse child, an Australian 50 cent coin, and a tape measure.

Incredibly cute. Just make sure you keep him somewhere safe!

Male's Chamber Pot Medieval faux terracotta dollhouse miniature

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 23:25:04 -0400

$14.00
Got a dollhouse set in the medieval era? Or something even older perhaps? These urinal style chamber pots were in use in many different countries from ancient time. In the medieval era, they would be kept on a shelf in the toilet, and a male could urinate in them and then save it for sale to cloth makers, or use it for cleaning purposes and many other uses. It was too much of a waste of a resource to just urinate into the toilet pit.

This is hand sculpted from polymer clay to look like terracotta.

It's a 1:12 scale adult miniature and is not designed as a child's toy.

It's about two cms long, or 3/4 of an inch.

Layered Miniature Fish and Chips

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 02:08:46 -0400

$15.00
Mmm, the beach! Or, a lovely takeaway!
Traditionally, fish and chips are wrapped in newspaper and greaseproof paper, so thats what I've done here! The newspaper is nothing specific, so it should be able to fit in with almost every era you want. This would be a lovely addition to a beach scene or a dining room table on those casual nights!

If you look, this fish is 'broken'- you can see the flesh of the fish, the greenish dark grey skin, the batter, and the crispy batter on top as well! For those who like some realism!

This is an adult collectable and is not intended for children.
The whole thing measures about 3 inches from edge of newspaper to edge of newspaper. The fish is about 1 1/4 inches. A nice big fish ready to share!

I made a batch of these, so the photo might not match your fish and chips exactly.

Blue Retro Toaster With Burn Marks Dollhouse Miniature

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 21:50:27 -0400

$15.00
These sorts of toasters are totally back. Simplicity of line and pretty of colour. This toaster even has the burn marks that would happen on many not so carefully used toasters!

Hand sculpted from polymer clay, it's perfect for your modern (or older, since the modern style is based on the older style!) dollhouse. It's slightly sparkly blue, with a black button. Miniature toast can be placed inside to peek out of the top!

This is an adult collectable and is not intended for children.
