A Christmas Feature, again!

Yay! Another cover! I love getting covers at Christmas (see last year's here, and year before that here). This year it is on 'The Dolls' House Magazine' and you can purchase a copy of this brilliant UK magazine here.

This is the feature below and a selection of the photos they used. Please note that these scenes were originally created for (but not printed in) the magazine 'Dolls House and Miniature Scene', 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.

So thrilled to get my copy of The Dolls' House Magazine in the mail yesterday!

Cake in The Dolls House Magazine!

Was chuffed to see one of my new miniature birthday cakes in this month's issue of 'The Dolls House Magazine'! You can find your copy of this fantastic UK publication here.

This is the cake they featured.

Don't forget, I will be selling a whole new range of cakes over at my Hummingbird Miniatures online Etsy shop very soon, and until then I am selling them direct to customers who contact me by email.

In other news.... you have just less than one day left to enter the competition that is currently running! It only takes a few clicks and you could be in with a chance of winning an original Hummingbird Miniatures Halloween miniature.... details here! Competition closes at midnight tonight (PST).

Good luck!

Below are some of my Hummingbird Miniatures handmade miniature dollhouse birthday cakes. All made by myself in 1:12 (one inch) scale, using polymer clay. dollshouse cake dolls house cake dollhouse cake

A Feature last Easter!

In case you missed it....! There was a feature on my work in 'The Dolls House Magazine' this Easter on my seasonal Daffodil cake and little plush bunnies!

See the feature below, and images from that setting as well. If you want to see more of my published work then click over to my 'Caroline blog' here!

Featured! New Magazine Article

It's always a thrill and an honour to be featured in excellent miniaturist magazines. This month you can find a bit about me and Hummingbird Miniatures in UK publication - 'The Dolls' House Magazine'.

If you live outside the UK and don't subscribe to this magazine, I would suggest it's well worth your time and you can even subscribe via your iPhone or iPad. Just click here to be taken to this part of their site.

Interested in buying this month's magazine? Find it here. 

So anyway, this month's issue is mostly about miniature baking and showcases some amazing foodie miniaturists. I was asked to write about the 'Piccadilly Patisserie & Cakes' shop I made in 2012, and I gave a general write-up about making it. Only short and sweet. :)

They're running a competition in the magazine this month (which is still open) in which you can win either a miniature cake shop, a book or my miniature birthday cake with candles (a new design created exclusively for this issue). So if you have a miniature sweet tooth then don't miss out on that.

Take a look at my little appearance in the magazine below. :)

PS I will be launching a new and exciting miniature birthday cake range very soon. Expect to see them in all colours and designs, and in one and half inch scales. The candles are now 20% smaller than before! They'll be listed at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop this summer and blogged about here and on the Facebook page.

The Dolls' House Magazine - little appearance

Have you seen the latest Doll's House Magazine (April 2012 issue) yet? It's been out since beginning of March of course, but I've been waiting to share this with you until I could get my hands on a working scanner, so I'm a tad late!

At the end of last year I was contacted by an editor at the magazine who heard I was leaving America and returning to the UK. She asked if I wanted to be featured in their news page, so they could 'mark the move' and let their readers know. Of course I love any exposure, so was quite chuffed.

Funny thing is, it now looks as though I *may* be moving back to the US later this year... if all goes well. Fingers crossed for me anyway! It's exceedingly hard to get back into the US once you've left. Technically because I have worked in the US I shouldn't be allowed back in, even as a tourist (even if I say I just want to pop over and collect the rest of my belongings) for 12-14 months. Tricky tricky business.

Anyway, this post is about my Tudor Range making a little appearance in the Doll's House Magazine's April issue. Have a look, let me know what you think. :)

Magazine Feature - The Dolls' House Magazine

In case you missed it, I made a small appearance in the August 2011 issue of 'The Dolls' House Magazine' (published by GMC). It's a brilliant UK magazine. (Click the image of the magazine above to be taken to their website).

Here's my little feature.

Look out for me in the Nov and Dec issue also! ;)

Oh, and if you're interested in my creativity outside the miniature world (well the 2 worlds overlap quite a bit actually) then take a look at my brand new professional blog here.
