Gingerbread Jewelry this Christmas

Gosh, it's Dec and I haven't updated this blog since Thanksgiving!! I've been soooo busy... so I'm sorry about that. :)

Anyway, I'm really excited to show you my new handmade jewelry (or jewellery UK English) which I created for Christmas this year. Despite there being other 'mini food jewelry artisans' out there, I don't think anyone else is doing miniature gingerbread house earrings as dangle earrings - so I feel like they're quite special and unique. I worked hard on creating a special and unique design too.
They are also extremely tiny (much smaller than they appear in the photos) - so they will be a talking point at the Christmas party I'm sure!

Handmade by myself in smaller than one inch scale - these little iced gems hang on surgical steel findings (in black because I felt that would look cooler than silver), and all of the candy on them was handmade entirely by myself. See gingerbread house pendants below as well.

Here's a 'making of' photo below... I did a few at a time and hardened them in my craft oven, then once cooled I attached the earring findings. Just a little varnish in places and they were ready!

Find them at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop and order ASAP to ensure you get them in time for Christmas gift-giving. They come in my pretty Hummingbird Miniatures packaging - so they're ready little stocking fillers!
** Please note that my Hummingbird Miniatures shop will close for 2 weeks (16th Dec 2013 - 1st Jan 2014) so that I can travel home to England for the holidays - get your sales in before that date! :) **

My Workspace... Mini Food Jewelry

I have been busy participating in a fair recently (with my other brand - see the blog post here) but now that I have more time again I am focusing on my mini food jewelry range.

I have redesigned the packaging and guess what... there will finally be more variety coming soon. I'm going to start making more breads and pastries, cupcakes and vegetables as earrings and pendants, and also a whole sushi range. So make sure you follow this blog or like on Facebook to stay ahead of the news. :)

You can find some of my Hummingbird Miniatures mini food jewelry range on Etsy here.

A Taste for Jewelry

... there's nothing wrong with having an appetite for jewelry, now is there? Especially when it's tiny, bite sized and handmade from calorie-free polymer clay.

Just listed some more of my mini food jewelry including new cake slice items - find it at my online store here.



Hop over to my other store also for some pretty unique magical jewelry, and more still to come!

Healthy Love of Jewelry

Want to express your healthy love of jewelry?

Unlike Marilyn Monroe's character in one of my favourite films - 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' (1953), who famously sang that "diamonds are a girl's best friend"... I've always loved costume jewelry more than real jewels. Just as well probably!

Well these aren't diamonds, and they're not fake diamonds... they're carefully crafted handmade blushing grapefruits which are perfect for the summer.

I loved making these. (All done myself without the use of bought canes, naturally!)
