Making Miniature Food and Market Stalls

by Angie Scarr

Making Miniature Food and Market Stalls Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

This book is an amazing resource for anyone interested in making realistic miniature food. There are step-by-step instructions for everything from blending colours to adding texture to the finished products. Angie Scarr is renowned for her handmade miniature food products and she shares many simple, but unique, tips that simplify the process. The book covers fruits, vegetables, meat and fish as well as explaining how to make props like a market stall and boxes for your bounty.

I am a huge fan of this book and consider it a "must have" for any miniaturist's library.
