Half the Size, Twice as cool

Like Alice in Wonderland, I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller... well Pixie Dust Miniatures is. ;)

For those that like things smaller than one inch scale, I have some half inch scale dragon eggs newly listed in store, and ready to hatch. 

May require incubation. Handle with oven gloves. 

And, a look at some other half inch minis.... Find all Half Inch Range here, and for the next few days get half off half inch by using the code: HALFINCH. 50% will be deducted from your total order, but not from postage. ;) Email me if you have a query.

Magic Shop... Final Reveal

You might have caught a glimpse of this magic shop in this previous post... I wasn't able to show much because I promised an exclusive to The Dolls House Magazine. But now that they've run their article I can show all now! You can stay up to date with miniature models better by following my professional blog here by the way.

So here's 'Boggart's Bazaar' - the fantastical magic shop made for a very special client by commission earlier this year. It's 1:24 (half inch) scale.

Find more photos on my Flickr Gallery. ;)

Wizards Gather Here Signpost

Goodness, it's been a while since I've blogged! Been spending too much time on my miniature sets for a web series I'm working on, and not enough time sharing on here. Don't forget you can always see what I'm up to by clicking over to my other blog.

One of my favourite clients brought me such a fun commission last Friday - a spooky signpost which reads 'Wizards Gather Here'. I was delighted to make it. It's a little smaller than half inch (1:24) scale at her request and measures 2.5 inches high.
The base has faux moss and other foliage as well as glow-in-the-dark toadstools.

I took inspiration from Walt Disney's 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' (1937) when I decided to include a carved owl design. Scroll down for some 'Snow White' stills which influenced me.

'Wizards Gather Here' Signpost

















On researching owl designs from 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' (which I knew I had remembered seeing) I came across a blog (here) which looked into Disney's use of owls in the film more closely... interesting stuff. Last image is from his blog highlighting the owls.

A Magic Shop in Progress - My Workspace 2

Hi everyone,
It's late and I've been so busy in my workshop that my floors now resemble a hamster cage, but the lovely lady I've been making the Harry Potter Magic Shop - 'Boggarts Bazaar' for has given me permission to post images of my work-in-progress on my blog, so I thought I'd quickly do that now!
Stay tuned for finished results...
(Ooh, and note the real hardwood floors!) All 1:24 (half inch) scale.

Half Inch Scale Mixed Spellbooks!

Magic has never been so tiny...!

Still making items in half inch (1:24) scale for the time being and you can find some at my shop in the 'Half Inch Scale' section.

These are mixed spellbooks - some with cobweb covers, others in mottled green or red scales... and all finished with hints of gold. They measure 0.9 cm in length. They can easily be used as small notebooks for witches in a one inch (1:12) scale setting as well.

In other news, you've probably realised by now that the Hummingbird Miniatures competition is closed and a winner was chosen. (Watch the video draw here). But, don't fret if you didn't win - I'm hosting a magical competition giveaway here on Pixie Dust Miniatures very soon, so stay tuned!
