MORE FIMO CLAY STUFF

There are miscellaneous FIMO projects on this page, so scroll down to find the project you are looking for. So far you can find pictures of my shower, my doll parts, bonsai tree, toothbrush, telephone, and...

Dollhouse telephone:
My poor dollies have been dying to gossip, so it was about time to give them a telephone. I made the phone and receiver of FIMO, and the cable of metal wire, which I curled by wrapping it tightly around a round metal stick, then pulling it out - tadaa: one curly piece of wire! I pushed one end of the wire into the phone, and another end into the receiver (before baking, of course!)
This (below) is how the phone will eventually look (and I'll paint it as well), but I'm going to bake it as it appears in the first picture (above), because that way my dolls can actually 'use' the phone, heh..

Below: I made the rather old-fashioned dialler by lightly pressing a round mark on the FIMO, using the cap of my scalpel. I then made the 'finger holes' with the tip of a pencil, and finally added a little bit of FIMO:

Close-up of the receiver:

Some of you may have noticed that there are actually just nine numbers on my phone (instead of ten, like on a real phone, with 0 included), but I think it wouldn't have looked as good if I had forced them all in, they'd have been too close to each other. And I don't really think my dollies will complain! LOL

Mini bonsai tree:
I made a bonsai shape of metal wire and foil, and then I thinly covered it all with FIMO.

And here's the same tree after being baked and painted. Next I'm going to add paper leaves.

Shower for the dollhouse:
I have a clear plastic shower cubicle in my dollhouse, but it's missing a shower! So, I took some metal wire and foil, and made a shower shape of them:

I then covered the shower with FIMO:

Another close-up:

If baking goes alright, I'm planning to paint the shower and glue it in the back of the shower cubicle. I don't have any silver paint, so I may use gold paint instead.. Posh shower like!

My first (home made) dollhouse doll:
I have done a few dolls before (in the past), but never in 1:12 scale. I wanted to have a go, though, so I asked Daniel to bring me some skin coloured (43) FIMO. I usually enjoy trying to make things my own way, rather than following someone else's instructions, so here are my first attempts, a head, feet and hands:

I know the neck is a bit 'fat', but it will be covered with hair anyway, so I don't mind. Maybe if the doll turns out fine, I'll try again and pay a bit more attention to shapes and such! Here's a close-up of the head:

And close-up of the hands and feet:

NOTE: There is a separate doll page for more about this project, I decided to make birthday dolls for my parents... See here

Mini toothbrush:
This is nothing special, really. I was just playing with some FIMO and wondering what else to make for the bathroom in my dollhouse - I made a toothbrush. Apparently, the dollhouse family will share this one toothbrush! *yuck*

W A R N I N G :
Children and those who may be browsing this site with children should not scroll any further down on this particular page, because the next pictures are not really suitable viewing for children. I don't personally think they will traumatise anyone, but at least you have been warned..

V A R O I T U S :
Lasten, tai lasten kanssa surffailevien, ei pitaisi skrollata tällä sivulla yhtään alemmas, koska seuraavat kuvat eivät oikein sovi lasten silmille. Henk. koht. en usko, että niistä nyt on mitään sen suurempaa haittaa, mutta olenpahan varoittanut..

Mini adult toy:
I have a "fem toy" in The Sims, so naturally my dollhouse residents became green of envy, and wanted one as well! So.. let me present.. a FIMO adult toy:

You'd have to be 1:12 to get any joy out of this one..
