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.

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…
