Green Fairy for Halloween...

I know Hummingbird Miniatures posts should be related to the world of mini, but I hope you don't mind if I share a topic from my CRAFT blog (Caro Home Crafts). People kept asking me how I made my Green Fairy Costume (like the one Kylie Minogue wore in the movie 'Moulin Rouge'), so I put a run-through video up and a helpful post including links to all the suppliers.

Thought it might possibly interest some people here! :)

Here it is, just click this link.

A Ghoulish Feast

Have you seen the Ghoulish Feast that makes up my Hallowe'en range at my Pixie Dust Miniatures site? Here's a video of the range below. :)

Best Teacher Cake!

It's my mum's birthday soon and she's a teacher, so I made her a fun little 'Best Teacher' cake instead of a traditional birthday cake.

Spooky Dishes

I made some Spooky Dishes to use when I did my Hummingbird Miniatures Halloween party photo shoot. Lots of fun to make. They're ceramic dishes which I painted little tiny spiders and bats on with shiny black enamel paint. 1:12 scale and available on Etsy. :)

Quite different from my Witchy Dishes which are made for my Pixie Dust Miniatures shop! Take a look here.

Have you seen...

...my spookier dolls house miniature Halloween Cake on my other site - Pixie Dust Miniatures?! Straight from the Pixie Dust witch's kitchen... it's quite a bit different to my Hummingbird Miniatures cake (which was decorated with chocolate and candy). This one is a bit witchier and more fitting for a witch than a miniature candy shop.

It is moist-looking chocolate cake with green sugar frosting, but it's topped off with a highly poisonous Banded Krait snake, sheep's eyeballs and finally rainbow sprinkles.

1:12 scale, polymer clay as usual.

I've only got three left and my Hummingbird Miniatures Halloween cakes sold out fast, so be quick if you'd like one! :)
Mini hugs,

Your Opinion... More Cake?

I sold my last Halloween cake with chocolate bat and candy ghosts yesterday on my Hummingbird Miniatures shop to a sweet little girl called Lola, and I had no intention of making any more.... but I've had so many unhappy people say they were upset to have missed out. I got pursuaded to make another for someone last night so will rush to do this today.

What does everyone think - should make a whole batch more? Or just one or two?! Trying to work out what the interest level is before I spend possibly a whole day in the Hummingbird bakery again!

Mini hugs
