Soup of the Day 7/100! Today's soup is Kaleh Pacheh, an Iranian breakfast soup! The dish features a whole sheep's head, but I did a single serving. This soup was super fun to research, all of the recipes I looked at focused on how to ethically source and prepare meats.

Back at my bench babyyyyyy, god it feels SO good. Commissions and craft fair prep goooooo!
A photo of a messy jewelers desk. There is a jewellers saw frame hanging off the wooden bench pin secured with a steel block, a big set of parts drawers hand labelled in the background with a rotating parts holder, and a variety of clutter in the cubby under the table underneath (scissors, metal, wood, some more specialized stuff like a ring holder). There's nothing in particular being made, just a bench photo at this point, but the saw frame does have a piece of copper partially cut and hanging off, like it just occurred to me I could use this moment for content. (I did)

Soup of the Day 6/100: Yokohama style ramen! I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed the broth got lost in the bowl of this one, because this style of ramen is all about the broth! It's a combo of shoyu and tonkatsu broths, and characterized by thicker noodles!

Here's soup 5/100! This one is tonkotsu ramen! This style has got a light coloured broth because the length of time the bones are boiled to make the broth breaks down the collagen in the bones, and it makes the flavour very creamy and fatty (and delicious!)
A teeny tiny polymer clay bowl filled with polymer clay ramen, this one has a boiled egg on top and a fatty meat, along with some seaweed and scallions and what looked to me like pickled radishes but please correct me if I'm wrong, I just love pickled radishes A teeny tiny polymer clay bowl filled with polymer clay ramen, this one has a boiled egg on top and a fatty meat, along with some seaweed and scallions and what looked to me like pickled radishes. I think this might be a slightly zoomed out shot of the same first photo if I'm being honest.

No soup today because I can't bring myself to post on Instagram and I do them at the same time, but here's some other stuff I made for some upcoming shows and also a bowl of curry for my dolls because I had some liquid clay and I wanted to treat myself.

A bunch of unvarnished polymer clay miniatures, including a cauldron with green bubbly goo, two bowls of soup (one beef stew and one chicken vegetable!) Three hair pin bases that are black clay rectangles each with with three cookies on them (an iced pink sugar cookie with sprinkles, a chocolate chip cookie and a jam cookie), a hair clip base with tiny sour candies all over it, a very small loaf of bread and a little bowl of japanese curry

Soup of the day 4/100! Hope everyone likes ramen because there is a whole lot of it coming up in the list! This one is chicken with a boiled egg, tofu and seaweed! Did you know ramen noodles are made with sodium carbonate mineral water called kansui? I just learned that!

This one is a slightly different angle from the first picture, and you can see the shading on the tofu better, I think it was fried before it went in the soup.

Despite the horrors, soup of the day 3/100! Today it is Paraguayan vori vori, a corn dumpling soup with chicken and root vegetables. I learned from this one, vori means ball, for the little dumplings! It sounds very cozy to me. #polymerclay #soup #art

Soup of the day 2/100: Caldo de Queso! This soup is from the Sonora province of Mexico, and is traditionally made with a special queso ranchero from the area added at the end of the soup, but it can be made with queso fresco or queso cotija! I'm enjoying learning about soup a LOT, actually.

My first soup of the day! (1/100) This is Soto Betawi, an Indonesian beef soup with a coconut milk broth. I've never had this one, but all the photos I studied looked DELICIOUS, so hopefully someday. I'm working off the Taste Atlas list of 100 best soups of the world, if you want to follow along!

I'm about to start a silly, silly project! I'm gonna sculpt my way through a list of the 100 best soups worldwide! No time limit because I know myself better than that and we're getting deep into the Christmas prep season, but I'm hoping to get the first one done today! #polymerclay #art

Two tiny guys on a pencil sharpener. I don't think I'll work this small for a while, I'm working on a couple larger figures. This is my first time sculpting in the style of my personal sketchbook! I want to do more of this, but big enough to get satisfying details into, like some nice line work.

Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist.

This may finally be the breakthrough I need?
A screenshot of Gritty, the fuzzy orange mascot of the Flyers that says "I literally do not understand how anyone finds Gritty horrifying or wrong or anything other than the glorious gift from the heavens that he is. Look at him. He looks like Animal from the Muppets after doing a pillowcase full of coke. He is a miracle we do not deserve."

So I had to turn down a big custom order from a lovely person because of tariff stuff, but I did make some goofy smiling beetles to make myself feel better. These two are going to be earrings, I think! There's quite a few of them actually. I may be assembling a tiny bug army for my next show.

I sculpted this for you and Momo today, I'm not sure if there's a way to get it to you but I sculpted in all the details and double varnished it to make it more tactile. I'd love to give it to you, if possible! (Completely understandable if it's not)

Coming back to animal sculpting with an elephant probably wouldn't traditionally be my first choice, but I'm pretty pleased with how I came out of the trial by fire! Next up, pet studies!

Took this photo as I was finishing up my product shots, I named it "I am a very serious artist I swear." Put a couple new pieces up in my Etsy shop today, but these papaya earrings, aka my seeeecret McLaren F1 earrings will be up tomorrow morning!

Every time I play POOLS, I come away with screenshots of shapes that feel like they'd make cool metal pieces, I never want to finish this beautiful game. (and chances are I wont, if my track record for finishing games continues as it has historically)
