New miniatures inspired by some of my fellow blogger fans

These are a few new miniatures inspired by some of my fellow bloggers here :) As you can see there are a few new miniatures, I should really make some more cakes but i need to order doilies but I always forget, but I will get some soon.

I was working away on the large luxury fruit bowl a couple of weeks ago and I think now its finally finished it looks really quite nice, I like the way the blackberries and the white vine grapes turned out, it took me ages to place everything just perfectly.


They will be on ebay once the others end in a few days and some will be on Etsy too.

Anyway I hope you enjoy the photos of these new little minis!

  3. Thanks PetitPlat I love apples, can you tell lol! it took me ages to figure out a good technique to make them look as realistic as I could, but just keep trying as they will come good eventually.

    Hi again Dirgesinger I'm glad you like the pomegranates, they do look much nicer in the hand, not so "screaming red" as they appear in the photos :p
    Well these are my first and with a bit more practice time and a steady camera hand, I think I could get them looking a bit more spot on.

    I do love suggestions though, thanks for asking about them I always like a bit of a challenge :)

  9. marie christine I'm so happy that you love everything :) Thank you so much and I'm very honored you enjoy these :D

    Oiseau deNim happy you love the minis too, please drop by any time you like, its always lovely to see other artisans.

    Linda Carswell yes apples really are my thing right now, I picked one up while I was shopping today, it was just a big brother to these little baby ones, I have plans on making more in unusual little bowls at some stage soon, so look out for those later too.

    Merry Jingle thanks and I had fun making new miniatures, the melons are on Etsy now and the pommys are coming up on ebay next time.

    Also if anyone wants to see new things just give me a shout, if I get the time I will try to fit them in.

    There are some things I cant make very well though, so I might not be totally capable of everything:p as my oranges never seem to look right, well that's if I make a lot of them together that is!
    I will have to work on them I guess, I just normally end up giving in sand making a whole hoard of apples instead lol.

    Well I'm off to get a few more minis made and also listed, have a lovely day or even night everyone.

  17. Hi there Lina :) Well they have been shipped to you a good few hours ago now :) I hope the back log of mail from the volcano incident doesn't affect there arrival time at all.

    I know a lot of mail has just been waiting at the PO because of the flight restrictions, so if anyone has been waiting still that's possibly why.

    I will be back soon with some new mini goodies for everyone to see, so keep looking in :)

    Mean time if anyone hasn't already please check out Linda's wonderful dolls house blog
