Wah, so cute 😍

I've had to close my DMs for now, because I got inundated with so many messages. If you still think you might be interested in this project, you can still comment here. Deadline is July this year, but because budgeting I want to find an artist now that takes part-payment as an option. Thank you!

I love your artstyle, but am not sure myself if it's the right type for this job! But consider yourself lucky, because I will now follow you. 😍

There are no other restrictions I believe (other than I don't want AI generated imagery). It's just I know the persons preferences and it's very retro. Plus with the status of the business, gotta emphasize classy/elegant.

Mind giving me some pointers for 🚩 the flags?
Didn't realize I'd get swamped with so many reactions 😭

Vibe/style:
Similar to these two vintage ads from Mazetti.
Doesn't need to be as detailed, and only sweets shown. Older ads has this limited color to them, and this shop does have this vibe with the theme being green. :)

General layout idea, I'm leaning more towards having cookies and buns as a showcase though, because those are the best sellers at this place.
If so I will get more accurate cookie and bun picture references. :)

Sorry everyone for being so slow with replies, but I hurt my back and as a result is a bit slow to respond. 😅
I made a thread reply with all the info.
I'm also up for a trade if that's a thing, but that feels a bit more chaotic. Options are open though!

More info:
• A5 size menu showcase, just with a few pastries (like 5?)
• Digital prefered, as I'd like it as a print
• Has to fit with mid-century modern esthetics, not too fancy but elegant
• Due in June, prefer part-pay
• Pistaschio green is a mandatory color nuance

Another few examples.

I can also go visit when it reopens after the holidays and capture more accurate pastries that are menu standards.
January 2, 2026 at 9:03 PM
A few more sweets :)
January 2, 2026 at 9:01 PM
For references, here are some examples if what is usually made!

In layout it would be having borders on the edges a bit similar to how you see some wedding cards with lightweight gold borders.
The shop also has a color theme, so I can provide that as well.

So without sharing too much, I know someone who runs a 1950s style café.
Specifically I was imagining a single a5 print with a few stylized cookies from what is usually on the menu!
January 2, 2026 at 8:56 PM
Ah, I should've been including more info for the idea when I posted, so sorry! 😅
But check the replies under this comment for specifications!
January 2, 2026 at 8:53 PM
Vintage menu style with different cookie types. I meed to grab some reference photos though!

Ah! Polymer clay is tricky like that yeah. 😅 If you struggle with smooth details, try those silicone make up brushes to apply slip (clay + 💧). Those cheap dentist/nail art tools in metal work well for sculpting too. 😀
Keep at it. 🤩
