Chow Mein, fish, and uhh...eyeballs

Another rather long absence from blogging :-(. I've been busy making things for customers- a gypsy theme, fish and produce for a house, etc. I think I've mentioned this before, but I've always loved looking in the windows of Japanese restaurants- the ones with the fake food displays, complete with hovering chopsticks. There was a time, in San Francisco, when I looked into buying some of them (NOT cheap!). This was before I got into making miniatures. So, I've made a wee version of Chow Mein with "floating" chopsticks! I think I will make a bowl of Japanese noodle soup with chopsticks next. The other pieces are Rainbow Trout and the ubiquitous eyeball thing ;-).

  1. Love the chow mein, Kiva, those chopsticks are awesome! :D And I always love your googley-eyed terrified oysters, they remind me of Alice in Wonderland (or was it Through the Looking Glass? I get the stories confused. The bit about the Walrus.)
