Kiva's Mini Cookbook

The eclectic mix of foods by IGMA Fellow Kiva Atkinson has been delighting and inspiring miniature artists for years. Now you can discover her secret! With projects for many different seasons, holidays, and events, this app will take you through a year of foods in Kiva’s repertoire. You’ll be inspired by her versatile pieces and learn how to create mini food the way she does: with ample amounts of polymer clay!

From exotic eels and coconuts to some of the more basic staple foods, like tomatoes and cheese, which can fit into any setting, these projects will give you insight into Kiva’s personal style of mini-making. As you go, you’ll also learn about Kiva's home state of Hawaii and discover personal stories about her family and her life in different coastal cities to help you better understand the artist behind these pieces. As they say in Hawaii, Ho Ka Ono (let’s eat, it’s so good)!
