It didn't come out well though. The sushi that came out well looks too much like the sushi I made yesterday. Even though it uses different colors, it is too small to tell the difference. I tried making some rolled up sushi, (rolled up like jelly rolls), but it wasn't great. I tried to coat it with "rice", but the "rice" didn't stick, so I will try sticking it on with liquid sculpey tomorrow. I tried another kind with raw salmon on top, but the salmon came out too light. I guess I need to practice some more.
Anyway, I put some sushi from yesterday into my lacquer ware, just so the dishes wouldn't be empty. It's only in there with wax so I will be able to take it out later when I make chopsticks and some better food. The photo is below.
I don't think it was my day today, because I got my loaner phone from T-Mobile today. My last one was a Galaxy Note 7 exploding phone. I am getting a non-exploding Note 7 when they are available, because it was a wonderful phone. (Except for the explosive part). I'm glad I got the loaner, (Galaxy S7 Edge), but when I got home, I went to log in to my wifi, and I don't remember my password. :-( Here at my house, there is no cellular signal except for a very faint and unreliable one from the ATT tower in Manset, Maine, so I can't use it without wifi. Anyway, it's going to stink if I have to reset my router, and then set it up again.
Well, I'm off to look at sushi, so I can try some better stuff tomorrow. One thing good about a bad day, is that probably tomorrow will be much better!

Lacquerware, teapots and sushi canes
Today I finished a few imitation lacquerware dishes. I also decided to add some tiny lampwork teapot beads from my stash. I put a few of those into each room so those rooms wouldn't look so bare. Two of the rooms I added them to are in the top picture, and two in the bottom one.
I'm going to make a larger table for the gold room in the photo above. There were only two tables for the three tatami rooms. There is supposed to be a futon in one of the rooms rather than a table, but I really don't like the looks of the futons as much as I do the tables, so if I do a futon, it will be at a later date. You can see the little ivory lantern I showed yesterday, on the stand in this room.
The photo above shows my first attempts at Fimo sushi canes. I made two different kinds, but they are so tiny I can't see the difference in them without using a magnifying glass. At least now I know I can make them easily, so I will be able to make some more that don't look quite so much like these. From the amount of canes I haven't sliced up yet, I can see that I will have a never ending supply of sushi!
