To finish your miniature peaches for a scale or dollhouse scene, add small amounts of chalk to the outer surface using a small foam applicator or tiny ball of cotton. You can see an alternate view of the peaches which shows a bit more chalk in the instructions for the berry box. Colors depend on the variety of peaches you are modeling. Try to look at a picture or a sample of actual fruit when you are working on this step.
The flocking you applied in step 5 will help hold the chalk in place on the peach surface. If these peaches are going to be handled a great deal, you may want to spray them with a matte artist’s fixative to hold the chalk in place.
Enjoy your crop. Just for the record, peaches, unlike apples, don’t have leaves attached to the fruit stem. They come in a wide variety of colors with varying amounts of red blushing depending on the variety, so experiment with chalk/pastel finishes until you have something resembling your model peach.
