Hoppy Bunny Day!

Happy Easter everyone!

As you may have noticed, I continue to list new items (and the same old popular ones) at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop and put the odd Instagram update up and Facebook as well.

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 here!!

What's the news?!

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 YouTube channel! 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.

And, I also made a whole new range for Easter 2016, which I put up on the Etsy shop 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.

I'll blog more often, I promise! x x x

Chicks and all new bunnies

Gingerbread Houses 2015

Hope you caught my gingerbread village in my previous post here.

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 lebkuchenhaus). 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.

You can find a gingerbread house at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop HERE!

One of the styles has already sold out, so don't miss out on the remaining houses.

Hummingbird Miniatures' shop 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. I also gift-wrap at no extra charge, so let me know if this is a Christmas gift for someone by mentioning it in the message section when you buy.

Any queries - feel free to email me here.

Thanks and enjoy the photos below!

Preparing for Christmas...

It's been 3 years since I made a gingerbread village! The last one was in 2012 and I made it for my Pixie Dust Miniatures brand, so the gingerbread houses were not exactly traditional, but were whimsical and colourful. You can see that village here.

Last year my very traditional gingerbread houses made it to the cover of The Dolls House Magazine, for their Christmas issue, which was fantastic. You can see the cover here.

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 here. ;)

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 online Etsy shop here this week.

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.

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 shop this week to pick one up for yourself this Christmas! :)

Happy Valentine's Day 2015!

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 other blog 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 here at the blog, or here at the Facebook page.

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.

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 (glacé) 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 online Hummingbird Miniatures shop just as soon as we re-open. Email me if you're interested in reserving one!

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day all! x x x x
