Amber Dawn

A one of a kind, lovingly handcrafted, small scale miniature.  A sweet polymer clay cupcake with a Cupid, butterflies and heart-shaped candy embellishments.

This piece is completely crafted by hand is just about 16mm tall, from the top of Cupid's wing to the bottom of the cake base and is 12mm wide. The larger chocolate butterfly nestled behind Cupid measures 5.4mm wide. The smallest heart candy measures only 1mm.

Made 100% of polymer clay (not silicone or air-dray clay) You can re-bake it in a preheated 275 degree oven if you would like to add to this piece or affix it to more clay.

A hole runs from top to bottom so it can be used as a bead to create a delicate pendant for light wear, or it can also be used for a doll house.

Value:  $45
