Cool.  Are those baked or raw?  And, how did you get the designs onto the Taj Mahal?

Hi, They are baked, the decals are from paper model reduced to the scale to fit the model.

Those are so wonderful. I think I'll show them to my husband as he's always looking to build pieces for games that use miniatures. I think he'll be inspired!

Thanks Janette, Just make sure that when you are creating it used quality polymer clay that will not break easily, Premo, Fimo Classic.
Also a good strong superglue.

that's just wonderful, I love watching and seeing what kids can come up with, much better imagination than we have. I think adults think to hard about what to do. The kids just do it hehe.
Keep up the good work!!

Wow, Garie, your work is phenomenal! I looove the ladybug playing the double-neck guitar! I'm a guitarist, and so is my honey. He had a double-neck, but sold it as it wasn't getting played enough. I bet if he had four hands to go at it, he'd never put it down!
Anyway, I love your stuff. What amazing talent, especially to work in such tiny sizes!
Becky

Had to add this after viewing the beautiful kiddies and their amazing creations. Wow, what a fabulous teacher you must be! I would definitely like a copy of your book for my son, who will look at the pics I just saw and be re-inspired, I'm sure!
Thank you!!

Thank you for your kind comments, I play a guitar too, but my son is even better at playing the guitar. He is currently giving lessons to some of the kids. His kids are using Ibanez Mikro guitar that got me into making that miniature double-neck guitar.
The book is 80 % pictorial and its easy for the your kid to follow, available in the US at,
