Messenger: heartlandimages has declined to join and sent: Thanks, but no thanks. norajean_sf: put a separation sheet between two half rounds for a whole tomato cane norajean_sf: reduce the cane but not to mini size, just reduce one end to the mini size norajean_sf: you can keep the rest larger, for reducing it to mini size will soften the clay in the cane, helps a lot with mini food canes that extra handling norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/Food/07-01-04-Lunch/003.htm norajean_sf: check this page please norajean_sf: you can see the no color translucent around the tomato seeds norajean_sf: makes the tomato slice look more real madleend: those carrots are very nice ! bluebell5071: olives too norajean_sf: carrots have a yellowish core norajean_sf: it's a blend that's then jelly rolled norajean_sf: reduce to mini size norajean_sf: and the when you slice them into carrot sticks you have that center of yellowish carrot innards madleend: it's a case of breaking them down to the simplest "elements" to get the idea of how to put it together norajean_sf: it makes the carrot sticks stand out norajean_sf: got to reverse engineer stuff Madleen madleend: finding that out as i go ... so very true! norajean_sf: you look at anything and think... that's just dots and lines or blends norajean_sf: snakes, sheets or blends, that's all it is. So after we capture the color, mini food is unforgiving with color mix madleend: and the hardest part of ... knowing when to stop! LOL norajean_sf: then we are asking ourselves, how do I make that dot a snake norajean_sf: how do I repeat that line or set of lines as sheets of clay norajean_sf: Let me show you bacon for an example norajean_sf: Biz-Archive/food/Bacon Group madleend: what a slab! norajean_sf: these need a finish of acrylic floor polish norajean_sf: Biz-Archive/food/bacon-02 norajean_sf: I took some not so happy roast beef and mashed it to make the bacon meat norajean_sf: we got to remember if we're going to be doing cooked bacon or raw bacon for the color of the fat. The fat is just no color translucent with some "meat" color added norajean_sf: just add the same meat as you're putting in the bacon, the fat has to match in hue if not intensity of color. norajean_sf: people make the mistake of making their mini meat the color of raw meat norajean_sf: their brains are thinking... it'll look different when it cooked norajean_sf: no it won't norajean_sf: it'll look like a hunk of raw meat on a plate in your mini scene morganalilith387: do you apply the floor polish with a brush? cotton swab? sponge? rag? norajean_sf: Biz-Archive/food/Haoli-Raw-05 vlady6us: i use a brush morgan norajean_sf: This is raw meat, it's meant to be part of a food prep scene in the kitchen and not on the plate at the table. norajean_sf: I use a small water color brush morganalilith387: thanks :D vlady6us: soft brush tho norajean_sf: dunk the whole platter of food all at once after they've been cured together norajean_sf: see how the color of raw meat is redder? Cooked meat is brown. norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/Food/2004-MiniFood/06-27-04-Demo-004.htm norajean_sf: check out the burger here on this page, please norajean_sf: the grill marks are indentations on cooked meat mix, then liquid clay with brown is brushed on the grill indentations madleend: the top of the bun is so realistic ... norajean_sf: That's the bread trick that took me two years to figure out norajean_sf: hold on norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/Food/ToastyTop/Bikkies.htm madleend: that works ... LOL norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/New_Projects/Bread/Index.htm norajean_sf: No color translucent can be colored like melted cheddar cheese and used as Toasty Top norajean_sf: on bread, roast turkey, a bunch of stuff norajean_sf: as well as being used as melted cheddar cheese on burgers madleend: that braided bread is awesome! norajean_sf: Biz-Archive/food/Cheeseburger Group madleend: the melted cheese is the right shape (in how it has melted over burger) and looks the exactly correct texture ... bluebell5071: well, I gotta be going.
