For orange slices, mix a bit of orange Fimo with transparent. Roll into snake about diameter of a pencil. Then roll orange Fimo on a flat surface into very thin layer. Wrap this layer around snake evenly. Roll snake over perch scraper to give outside textured look of orange skin. Bake in oven at 250 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and while still warm cut slices with X-Acto knife. Details on orange slices may be drawn with fine-line magic marker. Using 527 Craft Cement, glue orange slices evenly around outside of miniature pitcher.
For cinnamon sticks, roll a bit of caramel Fimo into very thin snake about the diameter of pencil lead. With X-Acto knife, make a slight cut down length of snake. Bake in oven at 250 degrees for 10 minutes. When cool, cut into cinnamon sticks.
Pour a small amount of casting resin into paper cup. Add amber transparent dye and stir with stirring stick. Add needed amount of catalyst (usual formula is 10 drops of catalyst to 1 ounce resin) and stir thoroughly. Carefully pour catalyzed mixture into pitcher and mugs. Add cinammon sticks. Allow to harden undisturbed for at least two hours.
