Cocktails Out Back in Miniature

Here’s a fun miniature meant to show a little cocktail party in a back yard setting.


The brick work on the wall was made using texture paste and a brick stencil. I used painter’s tape to mask areas I didn’t want the paste to adhere.

The off white grout color was laid down then individual bricks were painted.

The deck was made from craft sticks that got a wash of brown acrylic paint.

Wall decor was made by sawing a plastic goat in half and giving it a patina with Rub’nBuff. I glued it onto a wooden game piece.

A close up of my tiny charcuterie board made from polymer clay and poly clay canes.

Thanks so much everyone! @Edel those are some miniature glass tiles I found in a Michaels craft store in their mosaic section. I grabbed them (only package, on sale) and set out to find a way to use them.

Wow. I thought you just bought the brick background. That is incredible. Love all the variation in the brick colors.

I, too, thought the bricks were just paper until closer inspection and your progress shots! So realistic and creative!

I would try to eat that cheese…
