Seen it, liked it, got the T-Shirt!

The last ranges you heard about from me were Mexican mini food jewelry (here), some fun Mexican chips and dip (here), guacamole (here) and Mexican colourful vegetables (here)!

- I had been very inspired by Mexican food, 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 Dolls House and Miniature Scene magazine as well. What an honour! You can see the two features below, if you scroll to the end.

So, before you get completely sick of Mexican food, here's some adorable Mexican prep boards that you can purchase at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop.

Also, if you like the photography and designs, you can even buy other products which show it off, such as posters, travel mugs and tote bags! It's all here at my new Red Bubble shop! Scroll down for a glimpse at some of these products as well.

In other news, I haven't created anything new for Halloween this year, except at my Pixie Dust Miniatures blog, but I will be offering a range of Christmas miniatures this year, so stay tuned for that! 

Don't miss out on anything I create by following on Instagram here.

Items available at Red Bubble now!

Dolls House and Miniature Scene magazine - Sept and Oct 2015 features!

A Christmas Feature

It's just 2 days until Christmas...............................!

I am so thrilled to be featured in (and on the cover of) one of my all-time favourite miniature magazines! This December my Hummingbird Miniatures are featured in 'Dolls House & Miniature Scene' magazine - a fantastic read published in the UK. You can buy your copy here.

So here's my roast turkey on a dinner table spread with Christmas crackers, candles and vegetables. It's on the magazine front cover and below you can see the other images included in the article - such as a Christmas cake and Nutcracker shop scene.

My online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop will be back at the end of Dec / start of Jan 2014... :)

Dreaming of a Pink Christmas...

You may have noticed that much of my Christmas 2013 range has been pink in some way. It's because I was inspired by the Nutcracker Ballet and I may have become carried away! To complete the pinkish theme, here's a cute Christmas cake which is made with pink and yellow candy canes and decorated with little iced biscuits. All of the candy is handmade by me as I never buy pre-made canes.

I only made one of these Christmas cakes, so if you'd like to own it then click on over to my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop!

Featured...

Also, this cake was featured along with other Christmas miniatures I made this year, in the magazine 'Dolls House and Miniature Scene'. It's a fantastic magazine full of articles about miniature artisans discussing their work, projects and everything you need to know about miniatures really! I highly recommend buying a copy or, better yet - subscribing.

Featured in Miniaturas

Sick of hearing me blog about magazine and book features yet?! Okay, last one, last one... for at least a few weeks, okay?!

Got my copy of Spanish miniature publication ' Miniaturas' magazine in the post and have shared images they used along with the mini feature below. It's from Dec of last year (2012) and it showcases some of my Christmas Range from 2012.

Much more of my Christmas 2012 Range was featured in 'Dolls House and Miniature Scene' last year (post about that here).

Next time you hear from me will be to show you some new minis, honestly! Don't forget to check the Hummingbird Miniatures Facebook page as well for latest news and photos.

Cover Girl FEATURE this Christmas!

I am honoured to have been given the front cover for the Christmas issue of UK magazine Dolls House & Miniature Scene (find the issue here)!

The front cover shows my Christmas living room which I made specifically for Christmas this year. I laid all the hardwood flooring myself, papered the walls, created the fireplace, all the food, traditional decorations, decorated the tree, painted the furniture and took the photographs. I will post a free tutorial on how to create a room like this one (in terms of papering and flooring) soon, so look out for that.

Have a look at the feature below and some more of the photos they used. Enjoy!
