Miniatures by Becca Design

How did you first get started in miniatures?
I started when I was younger. I used to create small fruits and other decorations for my dollhouse using cernit polymer clay.
About six years ago, I launched an online store that sold jewelry charms in the shape of cupcakes and classic Swedish pastries (such as punch rolls and princess cakes). Most of the pastries I made had a little bite in them to reveal the content. At the time, I hadn’t seen anyone else making that before. Becca Design continued on from there, and I’ve since been making more and more miniature jewelry work.
How has your work evolved?
I’ve been creating miniatures for about 6 years now. In the beginning, they had a more kawaii design with cute and rounded shapes. Now I’m trying to make my jewelry as realistic as possible.
Advice for beginner miniaturists?
Have patience and use material you’re comfortable working with. If you’re not satisfied with the result the first time, just try again, and again…
Tool, material or technique you can’t live without?
Fimo clay, of course!
Non-miniature inspiration?
Candy stores and bakeries.
Why miniatures? What appeals to you most about what you do?
I like small things and I like to “fiddle” with things. Small things are cute. Small things make people happy.
New minis in the works? What’s to come from Becca Design?
A new ice cream collection is on its way and also more miniature food!
Becca Design is managed by Rebecca Martinsson of Gothenburg, Sweden. You can see many (mini) more of her miniatures by visiting the Becca Design website, Becca Design blog, Instagram or Facebook.
