I like the color of these more than the previous heart-shaped ones. I didn't have orange colored Sculpey on hand so I mixed bright yellow and red Sculpey together + Tan Sculpey + mostly Sunshine Sculpey to achieve this color.

Stickers + Polymer Clay Wafers
New stickers to my collection! I bought 5 sheets of the donut/ice designs but regret not getting more of the bear/bird design! $1 a sheet from Ichibankan.
Made these from polymer clay. The Oreo-color resulted from mixing 1/4 pack of Black Sculpey with 1/8 pack of Chocolate Sculpey. I had a hard time mixing the colors for the heart shaped wafers and I felt that they look more like waffles instead of wafers. I mixed a little Tan, a little Chocolate and mostly Sunshine Sculpey to get this color. I don't know the exact amount. If I thought it was too brown, I'll just keep on adding the Sunshine color. Heart and bear shaped cookie cutters were used. For the rectangular wafers, I just used a razor blade. I'm not sure if I will use silicone caulk or the Grace whipped clay for the wafer cream.

Polymer Clay Chocolates w/ Varnish + Clay Fruit Canes
Made these w/ Sculpey polymer clay more than a month ago but never had a chance to seal them. The 3 "chocolates" on the right were sealed with Sculpey Glaze in satin. I though the satin finish wouldn't have much sheen but I was wrong. The pieces looked super glossy& wet. Not the look I was going for. So I went to Michaels yesterday to purchase a matte varnish. I applied it onto the 4 pieces on the left. Once they were dried, no sheen was detected so they looked more realistic. In fact, you cannot even tell that a sealer was applied to the pieces. Delta Ceramcoat Matte Varnish, $9.99 at Michaels.
These fruit canes were purchased from Etsy @ $3 per cane. A friend told me that these canes were not handmade. They're mass produced in China so that's why the cost is very low and each piece looks identical to the other compared to handmade canes.

You can find these canes in Hong Kong for about US$1.
