Inside the Hummingbird Bakery

As promised, here are more photos I took of my new miniature bread range inside the 'Hummingbird Bakery'!

All breads (as well as pastries previously blogged about here) are now available in store at the online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop.

New Bread Range Listed!

It was ages ago that I blogged about my new bread range ('in the making'), and finally I've had time to photograph it, write about it here and make it all available at my online Etsy shop here!

So, take a look at my handmade one inch scale (1:12) breads... from ciabatta, two kinds of baguettes, sourdough loaves and mini rolls, pumpernickel, olive bread and more...

Don't forget to follow this blog and also like the Facebook page in order to get updates and be able to comment / ask questions. :)

PS Tomorrow I'll share photos from the miniature Hummingbird Bakery...

Pastries, pastries, pastries!

If you check my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop you'll notice that this morning 9 different kinds of pastries have been added to the Bakery Section.

Everything has been handmade by myself without the use of molds, and in tiny 1:12 (one inch scale) with great care to realism and detail. Each one took me a long time to make!

There are...
Apricot danishes, croissants, cheese danishes, croissants decorated with icing, apple turnovers, french hearts, pain au chocolat, cinnamon swirls and pain au chocolat decorated with chocolate icing.

Take a look at the fun photos I took during the week, and if you'd like some then hop over to my shop and find them sold individually (just change the quantity for more, or you can mix and match) and purchase whilst they are introduced at a low price. *Note - the price will rise in a few days time. *

Do you remember when I blogged about tiny detailed miniature pastries (here) and a new line of bread I'd made (here)...? Well it was about a year ago - so you probably don't remember!

I FINALLY had the chance to start photographing these ranges today. So I'll finish taking pictures and you can start to look for them over at the Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop. I'll mention it here and at my Facebook page before then as well!

PS Thanks so much to everyone that took advantage of my sale last weekend!

Hi everyone,
As some of you know, I just celebrated my 32nd birthday and I did it in such a fun way - hitting Vegas, Sedona and the Grand Canyon in a 10 day road trip! I got back to my place in Los Angeles late last night and feel so relaxed and restored. As an extension of my good mood I am offering a post vacation SALE for a few days!

Hop on over to my Hummingbird Miniatures online Etsy shop here and find many items reduced - starting tomorrow morning at 8 am PST.

No coupon code needed - just see all the reduced items and grab them before the price goes back to what it was!

Don't forget to follow this blog and like us on Facebook to stay ahead of Hummingbird Miniatures news!

I'll leave you with some fun photos I took on my trip... ;) x

Fashion Bites

Happy New Year everyone!!! First of all, a big thank you to all of you that follow this blog and/or like my Hummingbird Miniatures Facebook page. It's great to have your interest and support!

What a fun year 2013 was. I left New Zealand and moved back to America, expanded my business further, was featured in several more magazines including a few more magazine covers, attained my Greencard (which means I have permanent residency in the US), flew back to my home country of England twice, and traveled to the Canary Isles. I so look forward to many more great things this year. Thank you for sharing the miniature journey with me!

I just wanted to share a fun US magazine article I was featured in last year (I just recently received my copy of it) - which focuses on my miniature jewelry. You may already know that at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop I sell my miniature food jewelry, and at my other shop I sell my miniature fairytale variety. Both brands are showcased. Take a look at the feature below...

What's in store for 2014?
FILM  This year I will be spending a good deal of time working on the film 'Myrtle the Witch' (a short film which is shot entirely on miniature scale sets and using hand-sculpted miniature characters) - find out more about this and stay connected at the Tall Tales Productions Facebook page here. 

BOOK   I also have a book coming out (my very first miniature book) and you can find out about that here. This book focuses solely on my other brand - of fairytale and fantasy miniatures, not Hummingbird Miniatures (miniature food). 

NEW RANGES   More food ranges will also be created and I will still take *some* commissions, so stay connected and in the 'Hummingbird' loop!

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... :)
