To be quite honest, I have been working on my miniature bread technique for months! Every attempt came out entirely the wrong color. I finally realized, it was not my technique that was the issue, it was my soft pastels! They were not the right shades, or a fine enough quality. I marched myself to the art store, and purchased a beautiful collection of Blick soft pastels in warm, bread-y tones.
Voila! Miniature bread that looks like bread. I'm so happy with my new pastels, and I'm dreaming up all the breads I can make now. First up, I made a rustic round loaf. It needed a bread board, so I stained and aged a little square of wood, and then I crafted a bread knife to go along with it. For staining, I'm quite fond of Marvy Wood Stain Markers. They are a breeze to use! And much less messy than a can and brush.
This particular loaf is available in the shop here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/106449309/miniature-rustic-bread-loaf-with-bread
I hope you have a peachy weekend!

GASP! You have mastered it!!! Amazing. I'm suddenly so hungry...
ReplyDeleteHe-he. Thank you! I am gluten sensitive, so I can't eat very many kinds of real bread. I always get hungry too when I make these ;).
