What a fun idea! I've seen people paint bigger rocks, but never food, and never dollhouse size. You clever girl. Cool rocks I've seen lately painted like strawberries to put in one's strawberry patch to fool birds, rabbits, etc.
My residents at work were painting decorative rocks for the garden and that is the actual moment that I was inspired to take the project to a 1:12 scale size! lol
Fantastic job on painting and use of diamond glaze. I have painted rocks before with kids at family parties but never thought of using them as miniature food. It does look like a lot of fun.
@@heathermartinez8640 yes same. Our residents at the senior living where I work paint rocks and I thought..hmmmmm this could be really fun as a mini project!
Cute! The mashed potatoes look great without the butter. I think they all turned out like the real thing. A fun project! But I really loved watching your dog enjoy rolling around in the sand lol!
awe yes my Kylo! He's so funny, today he was a bad boy this morning and ate one of my hubby's plants, but he's still puppy and learning so we couldn't be mad at him for long! We love taking him to that part of the beach cause he can run around and really be a dog. he loves it!
@@janreichard5511 lol I feel the same…I used to always look for beach glass now I’m just looking at tiny rocks trying to figure out what type of food they look like! 🤣🤣🤣
thank you! I was pretty fond of that cake too! Now that I feel a little bit more comfortable I would probably add some other elements to the rocks, like micro beads for sprinkles or maybe a dab of hot glue on top of the pancakes and then paint it so it would have a real looking pat of butter, you know things like that!
@@jojosmumdorothy2829 lol!!! Which one got you….im not really a sweet tooth person but for some reason I was really wanting that cake! And in made me angry cause I’m trying to be good!
The sandwich is adorable. Good job on the painting. Your puppy was the best part of the video today. Just rolling in something and leaving a scent, always cute to watch babies do that.
I have to admit that kinda, yes..I'm always thinking about creating, sometimes it's not minis that I am thinking about but usually it is! lol...Thank you Kathleen! xoxo
@@catserver8577 oh that’s so great! I highly recommend it. I found it really fun and a project that could easily be taken to the next level, like adding micro beads to the cake to look like sprinkles, stuff like that. I hope you try it! 🖌️🪨
@@WhitneyLaBrie I hope to find an avocado shaped one, with a flat side so I can make a cut avocado. But I will also do what you did and just let the stone remind me of something. How fun!
THANK YOU for this inspiration! My children and I are really enjoying our new hobby with the Maileg Mice. I’ve made some foods out of sculpey clay, but THIS! This is IT! I can’t wait!
that is so fantastic! Yes this was so fun and I could totally picture doing this with the kiddos! You are making some great memories over there. xoxoxo
They all look great! I picked out some small stones to paint as bread. I haven't gotten around to painting them yet, but I do plan to. My youngest granddaughter helped me find the little stones.
oh thats so sweet that she was helping find them. My niece just turnned two and she loves looking at rocks, she will be visiting in August and I will have to bring her to the beach for sure for some rock searching!
Thank you, I work in senior living and they were painting large rocks for the garden and one lady was painting hers to look like a strawberry and that's when the light bulb went off for me and now I can't stop looking at rocks like they are food! lmao
Whitney! As you know,I have always admired your mini-food work,but this video confirms my theory that you are indeed a zany genious🤣 As a mudlark,who finds things on a faraway river shore,I doubly admire what you have done here. Also,I love that big screwball dog!!
I love finding this sort of treasure out on the beach, I sadly sold my metal detector years ago because so many of my friends gave me such grief about what a nerd I looked like and sadly I sucummbed to their ridicule. It's been many years now though and I've grown to care less about the opinions of those who don't pay my bills! lol Yes my silly dog, he's so funny! Thank you Charles. :)
I own a detector,but it’s actually not my groove,when I am on the Thames foreshore,I use only my eyes ,a metal detector actually just squawks scrap metal constantly,it’s counter-productive. I need to send you pics of a particular find,it will explode your noggin,it’s from the mid to late 1500’s! Oh yeah that dog of yours is a 100% certified AKC screwball dog🥰
Wow epic..really well done ❤ you've give me brilliant ideas thanks you x I've got some tiny small medium and huge rocks I collected to paint on, I've just bought a dolls house pub with furniture now it needs ROCK FOOD ❤❤❤❤ and I've just found you and keeping you your amazing tutor and artist ❤ love from beverley all the way from England 🇬🇧
Hi Beverley! Welcome to my channel! My mom is from England and let's just say I grew up with some serious British love! I'm excited that you are going to try some rock food. I really enjoyed the process of creating these and I've had a hard time looking at rocks in any other ways! lol
Hehehehe you might be in trouble with my hubby now. My first thought seeing this video was oh wow I am never looking at pebbles the same way again!...and then I remembered our driveway IS ALL PEBBLES!!!! I'm sure you can see where this is going to go... LMAO!
bahahahahaha! Yes I see exactly where this is heading and believe me my heart goes out to your hubby the same way my poor hubby has to deal with all my creative antics!
same here! ...I don't know why I torture myself. Funny thing is the next project is food related too, not Willy Wonka but something else..why am I obsessed with foo lately? Probably cause I'm trying to be good!
I had to rewind because I was too pleasantly distracted by your PUP (I forgot his name 🤣). Well, he certainly has grown hasn't he 😱?! Love watching him roll in the sand. I kid you not girl, my stomach is growling! The prime rib roast is so real! The bacon and eggs! The cake! Totally love this project and I will be copying it, fyi. 😂 I will also be eating second dinner tonight. 🥰✨
I know can you believe how much he's grown! Oh lordy hes barely 10 months. His name is Kylo, we think that hes about done growning tall but now they tend to fill out and become stalky. His mom is smaller than him but his dad is ginormous, so its still a toss up. I had a great time with these rocks, the one for some reason that had me salivating was the cake, I was have a sugar craving!
I felt the same, love me some bread, and oh how I crave pasta! These were very fun to create, a bit of a learning curve cause the paint wasnt; blending quite the same as on canvas or paper but now that I have the feel for it I think I could do better, but I think you should for sure try it, I mean the best part it if you hate them you can literally toss them out in the garden and it cost nothing!
i love rocks! i love painting rocks- but i never thought of doing osme for my dollhouse minis! these are brilliant :) i have found and am using a little triangle-ish rock that looks just like carrot cake w/ icing LOL should have inspired me- but i needed to see yours i guess LOL now i have to try it!!!
I was surprised at how fun it was to find the rocks and imagine what they could become! It felt similar to trying to pictures and shapes in the clouds! Artistic day dreaming
@@jenpink4298 I know this is going to sound weird but I actually thought of you during the editing of this video, I thought “gosh I’m hungry now! I bet Jen will feel the same!” I literally laughed out loud when I read your comment!
hahahahahaha! That really did make me laugh, I heard a comedian talk about subway meat saying it was so thin you could read a newspaper through it, and he is right! Thank you for watching the channel and I'm thrilled you enjoy it. :)
ooooh yes I love this idea! I've had so many other ideas that I think would make these rocks even better now that I have gotten my feet wet! Is gotten a word? lol

@@WhitneyLaBrie Well, there ya go!😁 We get inspiration from the darnedest places.
This is so much fun! I'm obsessed
I love all of it
I could have made hundreds of these little foods. In reality though, I don't need hundreds! lol
Fantastic job on painting and use of diamond glaze. I have painted rocks before with kids at family parties but never thought of using them as miniature food. It does look like a lot of fun.
@@heathermartinez8640 yes same. Our residents at the senior living where I work paint rocks and I thought..hmmmmm this could be really fun as a mini project!
This is such a fun and accessible idea for miniaturists to get into mini food!! Now I am going to be on the hunt for tiny 'food rocks' wherever I go😊
yes that's the one issue with this project, I look at every rock like "what type of food can you become!" lol.
Cute! The mashed potatoes look great without the butter. I think they all turned out like the real thing. A fun project! But I really loved watching your dog enjoy rolling around in the sand lol!
awe yes my Kylo! He's so funny, today he was a bad boy this morning and ate one of my hubby's plants, but he's still puppy and learning so we couldn't be mad at him for long! We love taking him to that part of the beach cause he can run around and really be a dog. he loves it!
Cool idea! I’ll be looking at rocks and pebbles in a whole new light now. I especially liked the bread loaves and steak. 🥩 🍞 🥖
@@janreichard5511 lol I feel the same…I used to always look for beach glass now I’m just looking at tiny rocks trying to figure out what type of food they look like! 🤣🤣🤣
This is such a cool idea! I would definitely try this. I love how the breakfast, the cake and bread came out :)
thank you! I was pretty fond of that cake too! Now that I feel a little bit more comfortable I would probably add some other elements to the rocks, like micro beads for sprinkles or maybe a dab of hot glue on top of the pancakes and then paint it so it would have a real looking pat of butter, you know things like that!

@@agneschrismer9946 oh I agree! He’s such a funny boy, he loves rolling over bird poo…it’s his favorite 🤣🤣🤢🤢 we really love that fur ball
Neato idea!
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it!
The sourdough bread came out perfect ❤
@@KarolinaPetursdottir yes a was pleasantly surprised in that and I loved it in the basket, it felt pretty realistic.
This is genius Whitney ❤
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed the rocks. I'll never look at a pebble in the same way!
Genius! Do miniature ideas come to you 24/7, 365?, It would appear so - much to my delight (and inspiration). They’re all fabulous.
❤Kathleen
I have to admit that kinda, yes..I'm always thinking about creating, sometimes it's not minis that I am thinking about but usually it is! lol...Thank you Kathleen! xoxo
Really creative Whitney
I really appreciate that! I cant look at little rocks the same anymore! lol
Love this idea. I enjoy painting rocks.
oh that's wonderful! You will be a natural at this then for sure!
Fantastic. I will definitely try this one!

So fun, Whitney! I will be on the lookout for perfect rocks for a project!
yup that's how it starts, now I have a little container with pebbles and rocks...just one more thing hanging out in the craft room! lol
They all look great! I picked out some small stones to paint as bread. I haven't gotten around to painting them yet, but I do plan to. My youngest granddaughter helped me find the little stones.
oh thats so sweet that she was helping find them. My niece just turnned two and she loves looking at rocks, she will be visiting in August and I will have to bring her to the beach for sure for some rock searching!
I would have never thought of this! Great idea! You did a great job!😊
Thank you, I work in senior living and they were painting large rocks for the garden and one lady was painting hers to look like a strawberry and that's when the light bulb went off for me and now I can't stop looking at rocks like they are food! lmao
Absolutely amazing ❤
Thank you! I'm looking for the perfect rocks now for a mini Thanksgiving dinner!
So inspiring!!! I love the sandwiches the best.
This was such a fun project and I now I can't look at rocks in the same way!
That is just brilliant. 😮 I'm definitely going to try this.
oh good! It was supper fun, a little learning curve in the beginning but oh wow the possibilities here are endless!
Love your creativity thanks for sharing with us ❤❤❤❤
Absolutley my pleasure, if I can inspire just one person or create a little excitement for this hobby then my whole day is made! xoxoxo
Great idea never thought of doing it for food.
The residents at the senior living I work at were painting rocks for the garden when the idea hit me, and I thought..hmmmm I think this could work!
So clever!!! And fun!! I had to laugh at your butter quandary. 😂 Decisions, decisions!! ❤
lmao!!! To butter or not to butter...that was certainly the question!
Those came out great!
Yeah I was pretty happy with the result, could be better but you have to start somewhere!
SO VERY cool! 😃
I'll never look at rocks the same! lol

@WhitneyLaBrie ahhh yes! The fact that you know and like my stuff makes me fan girl so much🤣😂🤣
Such a creative idea
thank you, thank you! It was so fun trying to figure out what the food shapes each pebble reminded me of.
Hey, you're always making me hungry!!! The artsan breads really look real!!! 😊
same here! ...I don't know why I torture myself. Funny thing is the next project is food related too, not Willy Wonka but something else..why am I obsessed with foo lately? Probably cause I'm trying to be good!

Great video. I need to try this.

Subway wishes it looked as good as your sandwich rock lol xoxo Love your channel. You are so inspiring. xo
hahahahahaha! That really did make me laugh, I heard a comedian talk about subway meat saying it was so thin you could read a newspaper through it, and he is right! Thank you for watching the channel and I'm thrilled you enjoy it. :)
Gotta have butter on mashed potatoes. So cute. Think you did better the more you did and when you mixed on paper first.
yes I really was struggling with to butter or not to butter! lol Yes I think practice, practice, practice makes a big difference
I’d drizzle yellow down the sides and it will allude to butter melted under the gravy.
ooooh yes I love this idea! I've had so many other ideas that I think would make these rocks even better now that I have gotten my feet wet! Is gotten a word? lol
Gotten is definitely a word. 😂
13:34 Scoring 😊
I'm a carb lover for sure!!! :) had to include that!
You’re in Ventura?? I’m in the SF Valley! We are basically neighbors!
OMG yes we are! That's awesome!
