Make Miniature Wobbly Jellies, Gelatin Desserts and Salads From Scenic Water

Friday July 3, 2009

Jello and jellied salads are not anything I remember with fondness, but the first time I saw dolls house wobbly jellies, they caught my attention. There is something intriguing about a miniature dollhouse gelatin that wiggles realistically. These jellies are all made from Scenic Water, one of the many products for scale scenes made by Deluxe Materials.

Originally intended to replicate water in scale scenes, the low temperature melting resin has such a natural gelatin consistency that it is the go to product for miniature gelatins. It works easily with polymer clay, so you can add cut up carrots, raisins and cucumber to your jellied salads in miniature the same way you can in life. Like the real thing, it melts in sunlight, so keep your miniature jellies in a dust free, cool environment and bring them on for special celebrations in your dolls house.

Years ago I photocopied an article from a magazine for tiny scenes in a ‘book’ which the Dutch call ‘boekdose’The outside was fashioned to look like a book and when you opened the ‘book’ there was the most amazing miniature scene.Was also used for keepsakes. Do you know anything about this?
