Croque Madame et Monsieur

I'm back from my mini vacation.....and I feel like death warmed over! I've been busy playing catch-up and  staying up until 4 am. A wonderful customer of mine asked for a Croque Madame (with salad) and two bowls of French OnionSoup. I had lots of fun making them ( love working with "melted cheese" ;-)). These are other variations I made though, with fries.

    Ok, seriously folks, these are some hot looking fries!! I told Keaver earlier, I think these are flawless pieces. I can usually find fault in things, but I could not here. And btw, if Keaver is hung over from her trip, blame me. I am the one who kept her from napping most the time. Bad Lancey!!

    Oh yum! I love Croque Monsieur, practically survived on them when I lived France. Those look great, the detail is amazing. Would love to see your French Onion Soup, too, another of my favorites!

    Hey, thanks guys!! So happy you like the melted cheese work, lol!! No more hard clay (my usual)for making melted cheese. I went with the soft stuff, so as not to break my wrist this time ;-).

    Thank you, M.Narbon! Wow, what fabulous dolls you make!!! The costuming is astonishing, too!!

    Hey Emma!! Thank you!! I love French food, too ;-)!!
