Marble
Today I have been making a whole lot of faux marble cutting boards in miniature. I love marble in large life and have a couple of boards that I use for cutting. I would very much like to have my counters in real carrera marble. Don't you just love the cold and smooth feeling it has? My mini marble was made of polymer clay. I did use white clay, translucent, some stone colored clay, a bit of black and some green and beige to the mix. I put it in a kitchen machine with a cutting blade until the clay was formed into small pliable nuggets. Then just some turns in the pasta machine. Voila! I then cut it so the streaks was diagonal as in real marble. Baked, sanded and a light touch of varnish. Now all these slabs wants to be filled with goodies:) I cant wait...

Wow thanks for sharing the marble making steps! You are so good at miniatures! I am amazed how good that marble looks with those juicy cucumber wedges! Thanks again.
It does look so real Christel...fabulous, but it does seem like a shame to cover them...but what you do cover them with will be a real treat I am sure!! You always make the perfect pieces...lovely!!

Nydelig marmor skjærebrett, fikk lyst til å prøve meg selv, så takk for "oppskriften".
Artig å se den lille agurken ved siden av 1:1 agurkskivene. Når man ser hvor smått det er, blir detaljeringen enda mer imponerende!
