Scaling Down to Perfection: A Conversation with a Polymer Clay Food Miniaturist

Remember playing doll house as a kid? I was totally in love with the mini milk bottles and snack packages. We are talking about cheap plastic with a sticker on it. So you can understand why I fell in love when I discovered the world of clay food miniatures.

In our latest interview, we talked to Christy Richey, artist and owner of Almost Edibles Shop, where she shares how she got started with polymer clay and gives some insights into the world of clay miniature work. Check out the full interview here:

Christy is a nurse and brings all her skills and dedication also to the workshop. Her pieces are so detailed and realistic that once you get to her Instagram page you may even think it’s a food account. You see, I told you would want a snack as you read through today’s edition.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and although we have already published a special edition on the topic last month, we wanted to showcase some of the amazing designs that we have been seeing on Instagram lately.
