Tom Bishop Show July 2011

Got back from the Tom Bishop Miniature Fair in Anaheim last night after a fabulous time! It was my first show in America and it was great fun. :)

My online shop will be back open tomorrow (Tuesday 2nd August) and I'll be listing items that were not sold in the next few days.

I spent some time with the lovely (and uber talented) Kathy Obrenski of Wee Little West and her husband Tim. Met a fantastic lady called Natalia of Scarlet Sails Miniatures and bought this incredibly cute Christmas stocking from her. Also made friends with the beautiful Maritza of Maritza Miniatures who so generously gave me an exquisite yellow (my favourite colour) cushion with tiny hand-painted silk bird on it! Oh my word - I was so thrilled.

Here are some photos of my Pixie Dust Miniatures section of the display before I left for the show.








The above is me at the show. Below are pictures taken at the show.







These are the wonderful miniatures I brought back with me! Macaroons by Wee Little West, stocking by Scarlet Sail Miniatures and cushion by Maritza Miniatures. Be sure to click over to their sites, follow their blogs if you're not already! :)

My Workspace... Baking with Snails!

Don't you just love a fresh-from-the-oven cupcake? Frosting... sprinkles maybe... candy... or perhaps a nice wet garden snail on top?

Well this is the kind of baking 'Myrtle the Witch' does (character in my in-progress short film). These 1:12 scale snail cupcakes will be available at the Tom Bishop Miniature Fair and definitely at my online store as well (in time for Hallowe'en)!

My Workspace... Making More Magic!

Enchanted pumpkins and gourds, and Phoenix Ashes... tip of the iceberg! Made so much new stock. Hope I'll have time to share and list before I make it to the Tom Bishop fair!

Take a look at the new stock being made over at Hummingbird as well. :)

My Workspace... Building my Display!

Getting my display together for the Tom Bishop Miniature Fair... quite exciting! Just got a few more things to make and a few finishes to the display.

You might be interested in seeing the new items being made for this fair over at my Hummingbird Miniatures blog too (here).
