Description
This is a bit of an experiment.
I know that sushi has been done to death in polymer clay, but most folks tend to make a cane for the rice - clear in the middle, white on the outside, pulled and stretched, then cut into lengths. I always thought the result looked a little more like funny looking tile than rice.
So I wanted to try a different take on the rice. What do you guys think? Do you think it looks more... ricey?
This sushi is Vegetarian.
I actually prepared this polymer cane exactly like you would prepare real (Maki) sushi - I made the rice, Nori, made the filling, and rolled it all up. This Maki has cucumber, red pepper, carrot, and avocado.

definitely improvement over the usual caning technique for rice. it looks like you rolled out individual strands for it? this kind of makes it look a bit like noodles inside hehe
are you able to reduce your cane at all? seems like it would mush together all the ingredients, which is always the problem i've faced with trying to make large quantities of sushi by reducing a cane

Hahah, it DOES look like noodles, doesn't it? XD
I'm going to try a different method soon, if I get the chance. No reduction required.

the rice looks awesome! but the nori is a bit too thick and too green, it's needed of a little bit more of a darker colour to it, and so goes for the filling. but for a first time, awesome job! :3

Thanks! These little guys are actually stud earrings, but I will make them into rings and magnets, too. I just love sushi too much NOT to make them.

I definitely like your rice technique better. This looks like how sushi should look!

They're cute. The veggies are fine but you can clearly see that the rice looks like noodles : P

Hahahah! Maybe I should try making each piece by hand. Oh my.

If you packed it tighter it totally wouldn't be noticable. Everything aside from that looks really good

Thanks! I'll definitely do that next time!

Not bad; my first thought was that you'd made some rubber erasers for school or something...mostly because the colours seem very neon to me.
The rice has a lot of potential and so does the wrap itself!
your little carrots and inner veggies look a lot like melted bead...
You are Super Talented, so keep at it and remember that no matter how they turn out - Your fan base is rabid and will go to war against those who challenge you XD

Yes, I totally need to go back and do something different with the veggies. Make them more real, ya know? I've never been that great at miniature foods.
Thanks for your honest reply! I really appreciate the feedback, sugarcube.
