Description
Finally I'm ready with my first tutorial! This is what I have been doing the last few days, hope you enjoy it and find it useful!I will show you how to make the beautiful fly agarics (Amanita Muscaria) in miniature. May be some of you have a better technique but this is what I have come up to.
For those who have never made miniatures: don't get scared by the size of my toadstools and all those fingers around, you can use the same technique for any size. However, I recommend starting with a LARGER mushrooms.
If you have a question or there is anything unclear just ask.
And please tell me if you find a mistake!
____________________________________________
IMPORTANT UPDATE: You would better use cornstarch instead of baby powder as some powders contain TALC (like mine - i don't know how can one still make such products) and talc is considered cancerogenic!

I hadn't even thought of making toadstools with my polymer clay..but yours are so adorable and realistic, I might just have to try it! Though I'm sure they'd never be as good as yours are~

In the original photo, one of the most intriguing things about the mushroom is the way the cap is sort of two-toned: it goes from deep red to orange, maybe where the light is most intense. Do you think this effect could be achieved by making the cap out of yellow clay and then painting it with a red glaze, instead of just making it out of red clay?

Oh yes, it would look even more realistic! I would say may be make the caps out of yellow mixed with translucent and then dust with red pastel chalk or paint with oil paint.

Nicely done! If I ever have a little garden in a pot on my desk I'm definitely making some of these to stick in the dirt.
