For these whole wheat rolls, I used a slightly darker color mix than the white bread, this time using only Fimo Soft sahara and Premo translucent. To create flecks of whole grain in the bread, I first baked two small logs of clay: Premo raw sienna and a mix of Premo ecru and raw sienna. These I grated using the smallest holes on a cheese grater and mixed the shavings into the raw “dough” mix. As before, I used a toothbrush, needle tool, and crumpled aluminum foil for texture and shaded the rolls with soft pastels for a golden-brown baked effect.
After baking, I sealed the rolls with Helmar Crystal Kote Matte spray varnish, so that the pastels wouldn’t rub off. Here’s a closeup of one of the rolls.
The rolls have been added to the shelves in the gastronomia.
