<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Easter everyone!</span><br />
<br />
As you may have noticed, I continue to list new items (and the same old popular ones) at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature" target="_blank">online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop</a> and put the odd <a href="https://www.instagram.com/caro.mfw/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> update up and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Hummingbird-Miniatures-135669596465117/?ref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook</a> as well.<br />
<br />
But as for this blog... gosh - where have I been?! Sorry to tell you I've neglected all who read this blog, and been busily working on exciting miniatures over <a href="http://carolinemcfarlane-watts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>!!<br />
<br />

<i>What's the news?!</i><br />
<br />
Well, we've had Pancake Day already this year, and I made pancakes, and even put a little time-lapse video of the process here on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CaroHomeCrafts" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>! These pancakes *will* be listed at the shop soon, so huge apologies to those who've emailed and have been waiting patiently. I'll make sure there's a good discount coupon coming your way.<br />

<br />
<br />
And, I also made a whole new range for Easter 2016, which I put up on the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> recently. Here they are! All new fluffy Easter bunnies, as well as new chicks. See a couple of 'work in progress' photos below as well.<br />
<br />
I'll blog more often, I promise! x x x<br />

Work in progress bunnies...<br />

Just a little commission someone asked me to do! I've made Tudor foods before and I was messaged and asked to make this new rustic board of cheeses, breads, fruit and meat pies. It's in one inch scale and everything was made by myself of course. The foods are polymer clay and mixed media, and the board is wood, hand-carved, stained and waxed.<br />

Did you know I sometimes list tutorials at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature" target="_blank">online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop</a>?! That means that you're just a few clicks away from receiving a PDF tutorial which will teach you with clear step-by-step instructions and colour photographs, how to make miniature food for yourself!<br />
<br />
My latest tutorial is about making Mexican Fajitas. You can find it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/258736306/tutorial-how-to-make-mexican-fajitas-112?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">here</a>!<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for new tutorials coming soon. And please note that the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature" target="_blank">Hummingbird Miniatures shop</a> will soon close for the holidays so get any last Christmas orders in soon so that they can ship in time. The shop will be closed for about a 3-4 week period, but in that time you will still be able to purchase the PDF tutorials. :)<br />

Hope you caught my gingerbread village in my previous post <a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/11/preparing-for-christmas.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I finished them off and they're my most detailed yet. They're my own unique designs of course, and inspired by traditional German gingerbread houses (aka <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">lebkuchenhaus). </span>They're ever so detailed, decorated with tiny candy (all made by me, no pre-made canes, no molds used). 1:12 scale and handmade using polymer clay.<br />
<br />
You can find a gingerbread house at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature" target="_blank">online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop HERE</a>!<br />

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature" target="_blank">Hummingbird Miniatures' shop</a> will close for the holidays in mid December, so if you want to guarantee that you get yours before Christmas, then best to purchase within the next couple of weeks.

It's been 3 years since I made a gingerbread village! The last one was in 2012 and I made it for my <a href="http://pixiedustminiatures.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pixie Dust Miniatures</a> brand, so the gingerbread houses were not exactly traditional, but were whimsical and colourful. You can see that village <a href="http://pixiedustminiatures.blogspot.com/2012/12/gingerbread-candy-village.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Last year my very traditional gingerbread houses made it to the cover of <a href="https://www.thegmcgroup.com/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=947" target="_blank">The Dolls House Magazine</a>, for their Christmas issue, which was fantastic. You can see the cover <a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-christmas-feature-again.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
This year is the first year I haven't been on the cover of a magazine's Christmas issue. That's mostly because of.... dun dun duuuuun... the tragedy written about <a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/10/where-have-i-been.html" target="_blank">here</a>. ;)<br />
<br />
So, this festive season Hummingbird Miniatures is back with a BAM, and we're starting with some gingerbread houses. They will be listed at the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature" target="_blank">online Etsy shop here</a> this week.<br />
<br />
If you're looking for extremely detailed traditional German gingerbread houses (also known as lebkuchenhaus). in one inch scale and in all sorts of pretty colours, you can find it here! I made every part of them (made my own canes etc) and painstakingly assembled them over the past 2 weeks.<br />
<br />
Please see photos of the process below and then scroll past them to see the final village! Enjoy! And don't forget to visit the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature" target="_blank">shop</a> this week to pick one up for yourself this Christmas! :)<br />

I haven't shared photos from my workspace in ages, have I?! Obviously you can see what I make over at my <a href="http://carolinemcfarlane-watts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Caroline blog here</a> (and the corresponding <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TallTalesProductions" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>), but here on Hummingbird Miniatures it's been a while.<br />
<br />
I've just spent most of my day dealing with nasty boring forms I had to fill in, so now that that's over I'm unwinding with tea and a quick blog update...<br />
<br />
These are photos of me making Mexican food from back in May. First I created a lime cane (this is not too difficult to do, but if you hate caning you can always buy a cane). I have made a lime tutorial but still finishing it off. Soon you'll be able to find it in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature?section_id=7715777&ref=shopsection_leftnav_2" target="_blank">Tutorials section</a> of my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature" target="_blank">online Hummingbird Miniatures shop</a>.<br />
<br />
Then I made various vegetables including avocados and corn, which again will be available as tutorials <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature?section_id=7715777&ref=shopsection_leftnav_2" target="_blank">here</a> very soon!<br />
<br />
I made fajitas / burritos (which will also be available as <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature?section_id=7715777&ref=shopsection_leftnav_2" target="_blank">tutorials</a> soon) and then found a fun way to display my miniature food by creating tiny wooden or faux granite food boards. I even made each tiny bowl, and filled some with sour cream, some with guacamole, some with salsa and some with cut up limes.<br />
<br />
See completed Mexican food on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/caromfw/scale-miniature-mexican-food-hummingbird-miniature/" target="_blank">Pinterest here</a>. See more work-in-progress photos on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/caromfw/making-miniatures/" target="_blank">Pinterest here</a>!<br />

Bye for now!<br />

The last ranges you heard about from me were Mexican mini food jewelry (<a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/05/mexican-food-jewelry-range.html" target="_blank">here</a>), some fun Mexican chips and dip (<a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/05/chips-and-dip.html" target="_blank">here</a>), guacamole (<a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/05/holy-guacamole.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and Mexican colourful vegetables (<a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/05/corn-avocados-peppers-and-chillies.html" target="_blank">here</a>)!<div>

- I had been very inspired by <i><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/caromfw/scale-miniature-mexican-food-hummingbird-miniature/" target="_blank">Mexican food</a></i>, partly because Cinco de Mayo was happening and partly because I live in LA and eat Mexican food daily! I am thrilled that my Mexican food was featured in the September and October 2015 issues of <a href="http://www.collectors-club-of-great-britain.co.uk/Store/Dolls-House-and-Miniature-Scene-September-2015-issue-256/_prod3241" target="_blank">Dolls House and Miniature Scene magazine</a> as well. What an honour! You can see the two features below, if you scroll to the end.</div>

For <b>over a year</b> I have not properly blogged here (just the odd very infrequent update) and some of you may have been wondering where I went and why I dropped off the face of the planet! It may have surprised a lot of you since for about 5 years I updated this blog very frequently.<br />
<i><br /></i><i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">So, here's the truth, the complete truth, and it's a long read!</span></i><br />
<br />
A year ago something <b>catastrophic</b> happened to me. It was so painful that it's taken me this long to want to come back to blogging properly and really resume business as usual. <b>What the heck happened?!</b> I'll tell you...<br />
I was sitting at my computer one day and all of a sudden the folder I was saving some work in looked empty. I was like "hey, where did my files just go?" I clicked out of that folder and explored the rest of that hard-drive where I kept all my work, and found that none of the folders opened.... panic started to rise from the tips of my toes throughout my whole body, and I waited nervously for my computer-wiz friend to come over and help me check out what was happening. He couldn't even get the hard-drive to open and see any info. Now, this hard-drive contained absolutely all of my work - my entire portfolio of miniatures for both Hummingbird Miniatures and <a href="http://pixiedustminiatures.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pixie Dust Miniatures</a>, and also all family photos, and all photos in general in my life. But most of all it was my portfolio going back 5 years - when I started creating and photographing my miniature work. I felt an enormous sense of panic because I knew I hadn't backed up for 6 months. I was terrified to the pit of my stomach that I could potentially lose 6 months work (for me that represented thousands of images, my book '<i>The Art of Pixie Dust Miniatures</i>' I had been writing and was almost complete, tutorials I'd created and so forth. Nooooooooooooo, please don't let that work be lost, I kept saying to him! We took it to the best place for data recovery in LA (and don't forget, most of the best computer developments come out of California so I knew I was putting it into very safe hands).<br />
<br />
Things couldn't get much worse... or could they...?<br />
<br />
I went over to another hard-drive where everything (except the past 6 months) was backed up. Just wanted to browse it and feel a bit better.<br />
<br />
<b>... </b>Nothing was there.<br />
<br />
My housemate had at some point moved it / wiped it / who knows. He didn't know where it went. Basically it was gone. The only place my entire miniature portfolio existed was on the hard-drive that stopped working. And that was in the hands of these data recovery guys. I waited for their verdict with my heart in my stomach and sheer dread.<br />
<br />
They got back to me weeks later. "It's dead" they said. "No chance of recovery". I was devastated, but wouldn't accept it. I searched out the best recovery places in the world (which also are in the US - although I'd have sent it anywhere). I paid a few thousand and sent it to them. Surely if this was crucial FBI material, something seriously important they'd be able to recover it, was what I kept telling myself. I told them I'd pay any amount, I just HAD to have all my work back (hundreds of thousands of files). I waited weeks... maybe a month. The response was negative. I tried one final place, another few thousand dollars. Nope. They could retrieve absolutely nothing at all either.<br />
<br />
And in this time my father died suddenly without warning at the age of 61 as well.<br />
<br />
So I gave up on my work for about 5 months. Then I managed to climb back on the horse by applying myself in a new direction. Barely creating anything for Hummingbird Miniatures or <a href="http://pixiedustminiatures.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pixie Dust Miniatures</a>, I decided to dedicate my time to the short film I have been planning for a while. I started really creating for it in March of this year. I designed and sculpted the characters for the film, which is called '<i>Good Witches Bad Witches</i>' and started blogging about them <a href="http://carolinemcfarlane-watts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a> and showing them on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TallTalesProductions" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> for it. It helped. :)<br />
<br />
Eventually I also started getting back to creating miniature food again and slowly and steadily rebuilding my Hummingbird Miniatures portfolio with things such as <a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/02/new-black-forest-gateau.html" target="_blank">black forest cakes</a> new <a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/05/handmade-food-jewelry.html" target="_blank">mini food jewelry</a> and a massive detailed range of <a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/05/chips-and-dip.html" target="_blank">Mexican food</a> - which was soon after published in <a href="http://www.collectors-club-of-great-britain.co.uk/Store/Dolls-House-and-Miniature-Scene-September-2015-issue-256/_prod3241" target="_blank">Dolls House & Miniature Scene Magazine</a>.<br />
<br />
Recently I finally started creating for <a href="http://pixiedustminiatures.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pixie Dust Miniatures</a> again as well. I created some Jack o Lanterns and listed them at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PixieDustMiniatures" target="_blank">shop here</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
So! I rarely (or never) talk about my private life here, but I thought I owed everyone an explanation as to where I have been and why I haven't been responsive or active on this blog, or the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Hummingbird-Miniatures-135669596465117/?ref=ts" target="_blank">Hummingbird Miniatures Facebook page</a>, aside from Instagram feeds that occasionally show up there.<br />
<br />
But I'm back now! I will resume updating this blog and listing new items at the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature" target="_blank">Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop</a>. So thanks for hanging in there!<br />
<br />
Lovely to be back. Love to all! Caroline x X x<br />

<i>Man, I just love guacamole.</i> I love it to the extent that as a 19 year old student at Royal Holloway, University of London, I'd skip dinner and treat myself to a tub of pre-made Sainsbury's guacamole instead. It was cheaper than buying ingredients to make dinner and I loved it!<br />
<br />
Now that I live in Southern California I probably eat avocado daily and guacamole about 4 times a week, on average.<br />
<br />
Anyway! Here's a blog post all about guacamole and avocados, to continue my scale miniature Mexican food season....!<br />
<br />
There will be a tutorial about making miniature 1:12 scale avocados coming very soon to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">online shop</a>, so stay tuned for that. Also, there are photos below of my new avocado jewelry, which is also available at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">online shop</a>, and don't forget, I ship all over the world!<br />
<br />

Continuing the miniature Mexican food theme....!<br />
<br />
Here's some tiny salsa and tortilla chips for the weekend. I spent about a day testing different small batches of salsa by playing with different mediums, different translucencies, different amounts of tiny cut up 'tomato' until I got it just about how I wanted it. The chips (crisps) were made by rolling clay out as thin as humanly possible over sandpaper and peeling them off and then adding additional pigment. ;)<br />

As you saw in my last post, I am all about <i>Mexican food</i> at the moment and have been creating it since the beginning of the month (Cinco de Mayo - 5th of May). I have been eating out in my favourite Mexican places in LA and cooking Mexican food at home (which I do every week anyway), and getting all sorts of inspiration for this new range!<br />
<br />
Mexican cuisine includes a lot of vegetables and bright colours, so I started by creating vegetables in miniature before I made the dishes. Take a look at some of my photos below which show some 'work in progress' photos as well.<br />
<br />

I've been creating all sorts of <b>Mexican food</b> in 1:12 scale miniature lately, which you might have noticed if you follow me on Instagram (<a href="https://instagram.com/caro.mfw/">here</a>)!<br />
<br />
Alongside that, I've created lots of this miniature food as jewelry! It's super cute, and has that realism that makes it a fun talking point whenever you wear it.<br />
<br />
Here's some snaps of the 'making of' process, and links below to the jewelry, which is all available now at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature?ref=hdr_shop_menu">my Hummingbird Miniatures online Etsy shop</a>!<br />

Gosh... where have I been?! Good question! I have been away from Hummingbird Miniatures for a while because I have been working on my film, which uses miniature characters and miniature sets, so you should absolutely check out the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TallTalesProductions">Facebook page here</a>! I've missed you all so I'll be back here for a bit now. :)<br />

It's my birthday tomorrow so I decided to make myself a cake! I gave up all sugar and desserts for Lent, so it doesn't matter to me that my birthday cake isn't edible. This miniature cake is made from polymer clay (what else?!) and in once inch (1:12) scale. The candles are extremely tiny, and if you read this <a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2014/09/dreamworks-birthday.html">previous blog post</a> you'll know that my birthday candles have became far smaller, but I use a new technique which means that they are actually far less fragile and less likely to break than birthday cake candles I have made before.<br />
<br />
The cake is a tall one - being 4 layers of vanilla sponge and pale blue icing. It's topped with confetti and of course tiny candles.<br />
<br />
Since we're on the topic of candles, if that interests you, you might want to take a look at my realistic pillar candles which I've made for my film company (photos <a href="http://carolinemcfarlane-watts.blogspot.com/2015/02/getting-on-my-wick.html">here</a>) and which can of course be bought online <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PixieDustMiniatures">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Don't miss out on new cakes which are gradually being added to the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop here</a>!<br />
<br />
PS Did you know that you get free delivery if you purchase from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">my Hummingbird Miniatures online store</a> on the day of your birthday? Just <a href="mailto:caro.mfw@gmail.com">email me</a> a snap of your ID that shows your date of birth and I'll grant you a birthday code for free delivery, no matter where in the world you live. The purchase must be made on your actual birthday. If you've already made a purchase on your birthday and didn't use the code then just email me and I'll send a reimbursement for shipping via PayPal.<br />
<br />
Have a great week everyone!<br />

Last week I showed you some photos of my workspace with the black forest cakes (or gâteaux) in progress. They're all finished now and listed at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop here</a>!<br />
<br />
They're one inch scale and made with great attention to detail. I actually think they're some of my most detailed cakes and I was very happy with the design because they're different to any other dollhouse miniature black forest cakes I've seen. I opted not to put cream on the top or outside, which would have been a bit more traditional. My cakes have cream on the inside and chocolate icing on top. There are two kinds of cherries and some on the top have the stems.<br />
<br />
A great center piece for your miniature shop or kitchen / dining room!<br />

Where did the last month go?! If you're ever wondering where I've disappeared to, since I don't update Hummingbird Miniatures or my <a href="http://pixiedustminiatures.blogspot.com/">other blog</a> with the frequency I used to, it's probably because I am busy over at Tall Tales Productions, creating miniature model sets and working towards a stop-motion short film. You can keep up with this <a href="http://carolinemcfarlane-watts.blogspot.com/">here at the blog</a>, or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TallTalesProductions?fref=ts">here at the Facebook page</a>.<br />
<br />
So... here at Hummingbird Miniatures I have been creating cakes, cakes, cakes! I have made a cute new range of detailed black forest (gateaux) cakes, to my own design and also started creating a whole new range of miniature birthday cakes with candles.<br />
<br />
Here's a glimpse into my workspace below. One inch scale black forest cakes, made by myself with huge attention to detail out of polymer clay. These miniature cakes have two kinds of cherries (dark and also maraschino (<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">glacé</span>) cherries on top, which are lighter and brighter, and there's cream inside the cake and chocolate frosting on the top. So they were a lot of work and will be available at the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">online Hummingbird Miniatures shop</a> just as soon as we re-open. <a href="mailto:caro.mfw@gmail.com">Email me</a> if you're interested in reserving one!<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day all! x x x x<br />

Quite a belated Christmas message from me, I know! Where have I been? Well last year I got more and more busy with exhibitions and also my film company (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/TallTalesProductions">here</a>), that I almost decided to quit Hummingbird Miniatures for a time, to focus exclusively on making stop-motion / miniature films.<br />
<br />
However.... I have been persuaded by some of my lovely clients not to quit entirely, so Hummingbird Miniatures will continue to have a presence here, on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hummingbird-Miniatures/135669596465117">Facebook</a>, and also at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">online Etsy shop</a>.<br />
<br />
I will re-open the shop <i>very, very</i> soon, and I've also started creating some new special items, just for the occasion. I look forward to blogging about them and stay tuned because to thank you for your patience, the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">Hummingbird Miniatures shop</a> will re-open with a very BIG SALE.... details of this will be announced here on the blog soon.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas / holiday season! Have a fantastic new year.<br />
<br />

PS Look what I received this Christmas!! Something I have wanted for ages, ever since I saw it in the window of a little shop at an LA mall. It's a miniature hot air balloon with a wicker basket and I just love it.Carolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02408511596858578948noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5208517817898822567.post-10911388839315950212014-12-18T12:20:00.001-08:002014-12-18T12:20:56.238-08:00A Christmas Feature, again!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yay! Another cover! I love getting covers at Christmas (see last year's <a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-christmas-feature.html">here</a>, and year before that <a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/2012/12/cover-girl-feature-this-christmas.html">here</a>). This year it is on 'The Dolls' House Magazine' and you can purchase a copy of this brilliant UK magazine <a href="http://www.thegmcgroup.com/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=6223&idcategory=954">here</a>.<br />
<br />
This is the feature below and a selection of the photos they used. <i>Please note that these scenes were originally created for (but not printed in) the magazine '<a href="http://www.collectors-club-of-great-britain.co.uk/Dolls-Houses-and-Miniatures/Magazines/Dolls-House-and-Miniature-Scene/Issue/_ch27_is512">Dolls House and Miniature Scene</a>', which my talented friend Stephanie is on the cover of this month - and it's a fabulous magazine, so you should check that out too.</i><br />
<br />
So thrilled to get my copy of The Dolls' House Magazine in the mail yesterday!<br />

Gosh, where have I been?! I know that's what you must be thinking, unless you follow my 'Caroline blog' (<a href="http://carolinemcfarlane-watts.blogspot.com/">HERE</a>) as I haven't blogged since October! Well, let me fill you in...<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, I have had two exhibitions on and so I worked like a crazy person for the past 10 weeks to get everything done! The exhibitions are ongoing right now. One is in Burbank, California (<a href="http://carolinemcfarlane-watts.blogspot.com/2014/12/working-hard-or-hardly-working.html">details here on my Caroline blog</a>) and the other is in Shanghai, China (<a href="http://carolinemcfarlane-watts.blogspot.com/2014/12/show-in-shanghai.html">more details here</a>), and I just got back from China yesterday! I'll share all sorts of photos of the exhibitions soon.... but for now, here are some photos of new Christmas miniatures to begin to celebrate Christmas 2014 over at Hummingbird Miniatures! I made this Christmas scene as part of my Shanghai exhibition. There is a roast turkey on a tray with greens and cranberries, a dish of mixed roast veg (zucchini / courgette, carrots and parsnip), a dish of Brussels sprouts, a dish of roast potatoes and plates with very English crackers. The silk table runner has hand-painted trees and there's a holly table decoration with candles and oranges and two golden potted mini trees. This entire table will be available for sale as 1 piece after the exhibition ends (Jan 2015). Attached are hand-blown glass wine goblets, ceramic plates, hand-painted cutlery, a red cotton table cloth and a wooden bread board with sliced bread. To reserve this piece feel free to <a href="mailto:caro.mfw@gmail.com">email me</a> directly.<br />
<br />
Below are 'making of' photos as well as close-ups of the finished piece.<br />
<br />
I'll re-open my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature?ref=em">online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop</a> today as well!<br />

There's no more sincere form of flattery than imitation. I often see people re-create my designs (which is absolutely fine, and encouraged if it's not for selling, but for personal use), and I've decided to show some of the designs people have made based on my Halloween cakes. Some of them are really quite cute takes on what I do! :)<br />
<br />
My three Halloween cakes have been available at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature?ref=hdr_shop_menu">online Hummingbird Miniatures shop</a> for 3-4 years now (I keep re-making them when they sell out), but I might be discontinuing these designs in order to create something new and different. So if you really want the classic minty chocolate cake with bat, the orange chocolate cake with cat or the rich chocolate cake with spiderweb, then you might be running out of time!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Competition running...</i></span><br />
Don't forget, you may even be in with a chance at winning one of these cakes (or another Halloween item of your choosing) if you enter the competition which is currently running, and ENDS TOMORROW!<br />

Don't you think it's about time I gave something away for free again?! It's been just over a year after all! (See all past Hummingbird Miniatures competitions <a href="http://hummingbirdminiatures.blogspot.com/p/competitions.html">here</a>).<br />
<br />
So... with Halloween coming up I thought it would be fun to offer up a gorgeous Halloween treat. If you enter this competition you can choose from any of my Halloween treats which are currently available in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy store</a> (any of the three fabulously detailed cakes / donuts / donut tutorial / eclairs / cookies / Halloween religieuse pastries).<br />
<br />
<b><i>My reasons for this new competition GIVE AWAY!</i></b><br />
<br />
I'd love to gain more interest in my company in LA - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TallTalesProductions">Tall Tales Productions</a>, which creates content for film, TV and books. It's mostly in the form of miniatures (so I hope it interests you followers of Hummingbird Miniatures), and some illustration as well.<br />

Halloween is coming... have you started thinking about your Halloween costume this year?! I haven't yet, but I have been thinking a lot about the new Halloween Range which I have in progress (here but mostly at my other blog <a href="http://pixiedustminiatures.blogspot.com/">here</a>!)<br />
<br />
Anyway, I have a new tutorial listed over at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">online Hummingbird Miniature shop</a>. It's for making spooky Halloween Donuts. You can find the PDF <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/204324500/tutorial-how-to-make-halloween-donuts?ref=shop_home_active_1">here</a>!<br />
<br />
<br />
For 1 week only I am offering a 15% discount on all tutorials (you can use the discount at both of my shops). Find details on how to claim your 15 % discount at the end of this post below.<br />

So! My Halloween tutorial has been published twice - once last year in American Miniaturist magazine, and again this month in Dolls House World magazine. However, you can also buy my tutorial in PDF format at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature">shop</a>. It is in more depth, has larger images and includes more steps.<br />

I'm so happy to share another magazine feature!<br />
<br />
It's in US publication, American Miniaturist, and it's all about my fruit and vegetables in 1:12 scale, namely a marketplace piece I made back in early 2012. Written by Janet Stuart. It came out this month (Sept 2014).<br />
<br />
<br />
I've included the feature below and also some of my fruit and vegetables from the past and the not so distant past! Some of the photos show fruit in the making from earlier this year.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to look out for new fruit and veg at my 'Savoury' section of my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HummingbirdMiniature?section_id=7056876&ref=shopsection_leftnav_6">online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop</a> from time to time!<br />

I know it's been a while since I blogged here at Hummingbird Miniatures. It's been a busy year, and I often have time only to update my '<a href="http://carolinemcfarlane-watts.blogspot.com/">Caroline blog</a>' or it's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TallTalesProductions?fref=ts">Facebook page</a> these days. You can get updates more often by following those pages. :)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

Anyway, recently a friend of mine had a birthday. He happens to be the Lead Concept Artist for Dreamworks, so I wanted make him my best ever miniature cake, with my new, incredibly tiny and 'unbreakable' candles*. I made the little wooden tray for it and painted the little knife with my Hummingbird Miniatures signature dots!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

If you'd like a perfectly detailed tiny little birthday cake like this (or want to design your own), then send me an <a href="mailto:caro.mfw@gmail.com">email</a> or leave a comment, or find me through the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hummingbird-Miniatures/135669596465117?ref=ts">Hummingbird Miniatures Facebook Page here</a>.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">* My new <i>unbreakable candles</i> are made using a different method and medium than I have used in the past. Because they are no longer made using polymer clay, they don't snap easily. They are handmade by myself to a high standard and are possibly the smallest miniature candles on the market. I call them 'unbreakable' because they do not break easily. If you drop your cake then the chances are the candles will not break. However, if you <i><b>try</b></i> to break them then I am sure you will succeed!</span></div>
