Hummingbird Miniatures Jewelry in store in Canada!

If you're wondering why I am a little late delivering new ranges of miniatures (such as Hummingbird Miniatures' classic signature Birthday Cakes and the new furniture line) it's because I have had all manner of distractions!
I have been.... 
1) working on lots of fabulous Mini Food Jewelry for a boutique in Toronto, Canada (the photo above shows the trendy shop itself),

2) working on new ranges of miniatures for my other brand - Pixie Dust Miniatures (blog here, shop here, Facebook page here),

3) and finally... I have been working on my other (often non-mini) projects. If you're interested in seeing some of my children's book illustration and such then feel free to click over to my Facebook page here and blog here and take a look at that. :)

Here's the jewelry lines made especially for Canada! Don't forget you can find my adorable mini food jewelry at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop here as well.

Photographing Miniatures

If you're not only a fan of miniatures, but also a fan of miniature photography and miniature filmmaking (who doesn't love Wallace & Gromit?!), then you might enjoy my personal blog which is all about the life of a miniaturist living in LA!

Being a huge fan of miniature filmmaking (such as 'Wallace & Gromit - The Wrong Trousers' (1993), 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' (1993), 'The Wind in the Willows' (1983), and so many UK television shows such as 'Noddy' (1990s), I knew I had to work in this world. I created a small business making miniatures for private collectors - as you all know - selling miniature food under the brand name 'Hummingbird Miniatures' and also fantasy miniatures under the brand name 'Pixie Dust Miniatures'. and I am delving into making my own films with my LA based company - 'Tall Tales Productions'. Take a look at the website, Facebook Page, and blog.

So on my personal blog I recently wrote a post about the 'behind the scenes' world in photographing miniatures. If you're interested in more like this then please visit the blog post here and visit the Facebook Page for Tall Tales here!

Independence Day Cake 2013

What's a 4th of July picnic without cake? This one's in one inch scale, handmade by me from polymer clay and looks a lot prettier and more realistic in real life. :) It has strawberries and blueberries on top. You can find it at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop. There's only one so get it before it's gone!

Happy Independence Day!

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all having a blast this 4th! I am about to head out and buy chips and dip for a 4th July BBQ here in California.

I have listed some 4th July items at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop, so if you're celebrating it in your miniature world then grab a burger or hot dog in one inch scale.

Don't miss the 'making of' photos of this range here, and the previous post showing the final photos here.
