Moose Mount & French Bed

Hi~
I have been busy with many projects , as usual*grin*, but I was able to finish this 2 this week.
I normally get requests for bears and deer mounts , but I thought a moose mount is just a nice adn different mount to have in a miniature setting like a cabin, office ....
This is very small... only one inch lone and two inches from an antler to another...
I think is my best set of antler and I try a different way and I like it a lot. The markings on the antlers can bee seen better at naked eyes or with better photograph .... I am a lousy photographer..*grin*

I made this bed using my own miniature painting as part of the design.... this is not the actual painting but rather copy...... I would had painted and would take commission on painting furniture but because of its time consuming, it would cost much more than for what I am selling for.... I wanted to offer a pretty vintage looking aged bed that is One of a kind but yet at reasonable price therefore; I choose to do this way.
I should post some time this painting and the framed one.... I just took a quick picture to add to my listing at ebay to show where the bed was made from.....
Roses are my favorite flowers and when summer comes i will share with you my 8 years old bed of flowers as well of my roses.... I love them... I have several mature bushes that I am very proud of it.... Painting flowers , specially roses are definitely my favorite subject to paint.

Mini and micro oil painting

My last post was about my mini painting. I had work on this painting for while because oil painting requires to have layers after layers and I like to get close to dry before I get to work again... I never draw prior painting.... whenever I start a canvas I erase the entire thing to create a soft background.... one of these days I will do a WIP so you can see what I am talking about it.
The small painting is very tiny . The canvas it self measures 1 1/4" by 1 3/4".I wanted to try to make a similar painting to see how it would turn out. As you see , because of the amount of subjects it is not very detailed however it looks nice in person. I will most definitely find a spot to hang it. I also start few other canvas some tiny and a little bigger.... but I will be working a little at time so it may take a while before I show it to you.
I did a lot work on my room this week . If I have a chance I do a post some time soon. I am so busy all day. I also will be posting a Collie and a cat soon....
It is not as cold here as it is every where else so I will send you a warm hug now!*smiles*
