Holy Guacamole!

Man, I just love guacamole. I love it to the extent that as a 19 year old student at Royal Holloway, University of London, I'd skip dinner and treat myself to a tub of pre-made Sainsbury's guacamole instead. It was cheaper than buying ingredients to make dinner and I loved it!

Now that I live in Southern California I probably eat avocado daily and guacamole about 4 times a week, on average.

Anyway! Here's a blog post all about guacamole and avocados, to continue my scale miniature Mexican food season....!

There will be a tutorial about making miniature 1:12 scale avocados coming very soon to my online shop, so stay tuned for that. Also, there are photos below of my new avocado jewelry, which is also available at my online shop, and don't forget, I ship all over the world!

Don't miss the rest of my Mexican food in miniature at the Pinterest Gallery here, and stay up to date at the Facebook page here.

Corn, avocados, peppers and Chillies!

As you saw in my last post, I am all about Mexican food at the moment and have been creating it since the beginning of the month (Cinco de Mayo - 5th of May). I have been eating out in my favourite Mexican places in LA and cooking Mexican food at home (which I do every week anyway), and getting all sorts of inspiration for this new range!

Mexican cuisine includes a lot of vegetables and bright colours, so I started by creating vegetables in miniature before I made the dishes. Take a look at some of my photos below which show some 'work in progress' photos as well.

Shop for miniature Mexican foods at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop here.

Handmade Food Jewelry

Gosh... where have I been?! Good question! I have been away from Hummingbird Miniatures for a while because I have been working on my film, which uses miniature characters and miniature sets, so you should absolutely check out the Facebook page here! I've missed you all so I'll be back here for a bit now. :)

So today is Cinco de Mayo (a huge Mexican holiday) and so I have been busily creating Mexican food in miniature, including some new mini food jewelry featuring very realistic limes. I'm late finishing these items, but check back soon as there will be an array of dollhouse miniature Mexican foods and Mexican mini food jewelry! All handmade by myself and in one inch scale, of course.



Want to learn how to make a miniature lime using polymer clay, yourself?! Stay tuned as I will release a tutorial on this very soon, and you will be able to find it in the tutorial section of my Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop here.

Here's a sneak peek at some Hummingbird Miniatures Mini Food Jewelry. Please click over and check it out, and note that much more will be coming soon...!

My Marketplace - in Print!

I'm so happy to share another magazine feature!

It's in US publication, American Miniaturist, and it's all about my fruit and vegetables in 1:12 scale, namely a marketplace piece I made back in early 2012. Written by Janet Stuart. It came out this month (Sept 2014).


I've included the feature below and also some of my fruit and vegetables from the past and the not so distant past! Some of the photos show fruit in the making from earlier this year.

Don't forget to look out for new fruit and veg at my 'Savoury' section of my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop from time to time!

Pear-Shaped

I only found out recently that Americans don't use the expression 'to go pear-shaped'. It's a well known expression in the UK and simply means to go wrong. I used the expression in an email recently and the American receiver didn't take my meaning at all! Anyway, I just remembered that as I listed some new realistic pears in my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop.

Stay on the look out for a few more Christmas items which will be added over the next couple of days. Don't worry if you have just recently purchased something and then decide you want to buy something else. I always reimburse people who accidentally pay postage more than once. Also, if you buy something from my other Etsy shop and still want to visit the Hummingbird Miniatures shop, then I combine postage. :)

My Workspace - 4th July II

Hope you caught the last post (here) about my 4th of July food or saw it on the Hummingbird Miniatures Facebook Page here.... well here's part 2!

As you can see I have been busily adding condiments, pickles, fries, chips, onions etc to the plates. I have also created a realistic watermelon (note that I will be uploading a TUTORIAL which I have written - 'How to Create realistic Watermelon in Miniature') and I also made an Independence Day cake!

Take a look through these quick snaps of my items in-the-making and then don't forget to look out for the finished miniatures for sale at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop.
