Shop announcement

The PDF tutorial is available right now, but as you will probably notice the rest of my shop is currently on 'vacation mode'. I am out of the country for 1 week having a holiday in Lanzarote with my family, so will not be able to ship miniatures until I am back. However PDF tutorials are electronic so you can download them instantly - even when my shop is on 'vacation mode'.

Pumpkins and Jacks for Halloween!

It's already September so I'm starting to plan for Halloween 2013... starting with these witchy pumpkins in one inch scale.

Here we have smiley pumpkins, worried pumpkins, smiley gourds and Jack o Lanterns.

I'm going to start listing them at my online Pixie Dust Miniatures Etsy shop momentarily...
