Tutorial Fimo "Japanese sweets"

I used FIMO soft pastel. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes at 110°C. I had to create some shades by mixing two different ones. I needed a particular shade of pink, but I only had a very light pink and a darker one. The best mixing is achieved by grating on a fine grater and rolling. The polymer clay also needs to be thoroughly kneaded in your hands.

I made the sakura mochi leaves using moulds.
I strung the hanami dango on shortened bamboo toothpicks.
I sculpted the hydrangea wagashi using art spatulas.


The next step will be the use of a semi-gloss fimo varnish.

Thank you so much! I wanted the colors to be true to life. I found pictures of real wagashi as a reference.

@lilybot Thank you! I had planned this mainly as sweets for BJD's wedding reception, which I'd like to shoot in early May when some of the trees are still in bloom, although doing the details in Fimo wasn't easy for me.

 

@lilybot I'll try if the photos turn out well.
