Dollhouse Miniature Food Tutorial - To Make a Jar of Cranberry Sauce |
Equipment:
- Scenic Water
- White tile
- Toothpick
- Scenic colours red and black / food dye red and black
- Glass jars and lids
- Shallow dish.
- Grater
- Prebaked alizarin clay
- Spatula
Method:
- Grate some alizarin clay and bake for recommended time at recommended temperature as shown in pictures 1 & 1a.
- Melt a small amount of scenic water as shown in photo 3. I melt mine in the microwave by putting the setting on cook for a couple of seconds. Constantly watch and turn off the microwave once the scenic water has melted. You can melt it in a shallow dish over a bowl of hot water if you prefer.
- Add the red colour to the melted scenic water and mix. Then add a pin head of black and continue to add very small amounts of black until you are happy with the colour.
- Mix in the grated Alizarin clay using the toothpick.
- Melt the mixture again using the method you prefer and decant into glass jars using a spatula and toothpick.
- Allow to stand in a shallow dish of boiled water to disperse bubbles.
- Once bubbles have vanished add a lid to the jar and there you have a jar of Cranberry Sauce. Make one or as many as you like. Different sized jars can be used to produce either 12th, 6th or 8th scale miniatures.
