CLOSED - MFJoE Giveaway from Allart Shop! Handmade Miniature Milk and Cherry Jam Cookies Ring

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING! 

Comment # 106 is the winner! 

Congratulations Jasmine1485!

Chiara from Allart Shop on Etsy will be giving away a miniature milk and cherry jam cookies ring handmade by her and valued at $22!  This little ring is so cute you can wear it on a girl's night out (to make your friends jealous!) or to a Saturday swap meet!

The giveaway prize! Too cute!

But after looking at her Etsy store, I must ask how anyone could not fall in love everything???? Chiara's attention to detail and just total cuteness and adorableness is amazing!  She also does custom orders so if you would like anything made especially for you, feel free to get in touch!

I just adore her product photography!

Here's a lovely message from Chiara of Allart Shop!

Hi everybody, my name is Chiara and I'm from Italy. I love cooking and I especially love pastries: in Italy we have a great tradition of good food and eating well. Unfortunately, I also like to eat… I invite my friends for large dinners to try my new recipes, or share traditional dishes from my region. I’m constantly battling with the scale ... 

I love to work with my hands, and in this I am really versatile, I think I have done pretty much everything: my home is the site of my experiments and is in constant revolution, like me! It's totally colorful, full of plants so it looks like a jungle and full of work in progress in every corner of the house ..  I have thousands of projects constantly dancing in my head, well ... I could not survive without creating! So, I decided to become a part of this community to share all this with you. 

Every one of my pieces represent a little part of the day, the impression of a moment, warm, sweet and comforting to carry around everywhere. Or a sweet that delights the soul and palate. A great deal of passion and attention to every single detail is in each creation. I hope you have fun here with me!

Monday Mini Food Artist: Fatally Feminine

This week's Featured Mini Food Artist is Aubree of Fatally Feminine!

From her shop profile: My name is Aubree, and I am the 21 year old sole owner and designer of Fatally Feminine Designs. During the day, I go to college full time studying business. During the afternoon and evening I design and create jewelry. Sometimes it can be hard to balance my time!

I love fashion and accessories and have always loved creating, so I guess it was natural that I would end up designing. I started doing full time jewelry design a little over a year ago, but I have been making jewelry since I was about 12. I have done a little experimenting with almost every jewelry technique out there, and took a few metalwork classes in high school.

But metalwork just isn't my passion and requires a lot of resources that I just don't have. I have become really passionate about polymer clay. It is amazing the things you can do with it. It continually keeps me motivated. I also love vintage jewelry and vintage jewelry findings. I create with a mixture of vintage and new.

I draw inspirations from Japan and Japanese culture. I love all things Kawaii and Lolita. I also love creating sweet treats jewelry and anything with cupcakes! ;)

Monday Mini Food Artist: Miss Millificent's Miniatures

This week's Featured Mini Food Artist is Athena of Miss Millificent's Miniatures!

From her shop profile: I began making miniature food jewelry in the summer of 2009, after I had to leave my job as a cake decorator (carpal tunnel). I found that it was instant fun making tiny cakes, cupcakes, pies and cookies, and I'm continually searching out and studying real food to create in miniature.

I began making dollhouse minis in 2010. Although I make miniature cakes, I particularly like focusing on Southern foods.

She is also a mixed media artist, photographer, and dollmaker that shows and exhibits in galleries.
