    OK...so I'm looking at the pictures in the "How to" on that site for these little oranges. I see a blue ball....then an orange ball...then some painting stuff. Then she cuts the orange ball...and where the heck did the blue ball go???!!! What was that? The orange ball is hollow now with white fuzzy stuff. Yikes!! I'm...confused. But the oranges are spectacular! So are the berries.

    Jeez, Kiva - we need a holiday in Japan visiting some of these Miniaturists!

    They look so real - I am off to take a look at the site tho' it'll probably leave me feeling 'sooo' inadequate!

    the tutorial is amazing. that blue ball is sillicon and it was removed after cutting open the 'orange'. yep use googletranslate or some other translator site to change it to english! i don't speak Japanese at all too, but the translated English is broken, but still decipherable! :)

    Sumaiya! I found the translation button on my toolbar and this is part of what I got, lol:

    Create a skin.
    Rounds the size of silicon want.

    Silicon stab the needle, substitute the color of thin clay-colored skin.
    Using clay is Grace.

    Jerumediumu creates less濃Ime stained the color of skin color.

    Make it easier to draw a point, and adjust the water.


    Surface of the clay dries, we will draw Putsuputsuwo.

    Clay-colored (Grace) has something like Mosamosa Tsukemasu inward.
    Needle, toothpick, tweezers and then Ppoku it.

    I think you can kind of get the gist of what she's saying, though.

    Jocelyn, thank you for explaining that blue ball! I get it! Very interesting...

    Mags, time for a trip- I totally agree!

    Synnove, they use air dry clay and often color it with watercolors and acrylics (I think!).

    Ok Cindy, we are waiting for you to try the mandarain oranges next ;-)
