    Learn how to make a miniature sink, faucet, and pipes using simple materials. I made the sink using polymer clay. The pipes are a q-tip and paper. The faucets are made from a pin, earring back, and beads.
    Assorted size round nail decor (I used the biggest size ball)

    Miter Shears- this pair is highly rated and has replaceable blades

    Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

    I’m always surprised at the lens by which miniaturists view the world. Who would have thought an earring back would look like faucet hardware? That grommet is a perfect drain.

      I'm so psyched about that. I just bought the earring backs very recently.

Seriously though, I'm currently sketching out a little courtyard area of our yard that I want to put inside a fancy victorian greenhouse that I'm making as a stained glass project.

    OMG I love how this basin turned out! It goes to show you really do need to trust the process as when you pressed the clay over the mould, I wasn't sure how you were going to bring it all together, but you did and it looks phenomenal! Can't wait to see what project it turned up in 🤩

    • @queencityminis
      @queencityminis  Год назад

      Thank you! I didn't realize how truly ugly the beginning stages were until I read the comments. I knew it turned out great, so I was unconcerned. It really did look like a mess in the beginning 😆 I like creating shapes likes this by baking a simple shape first and using liquid clay and clay to add basic shapes around it. It's so much easier than trying to sculpt all of it at once. This was easy; baked basin from a sheet of clay, then three sheets for the top, front, and back.
