African Hunting Dog & Gazelle Fawn

 

Hello dear readers!*grin*

I am leaving to Paris and want to leave you with some pictures of probably the most unusual animals  that will be at my table - An African Hunting Dog and its prey, a sweet gazelle fawn.

I want to make something that portray reality in a different way.The freedom that I find in my hands is a joy and sometimes challenge my feelings but the reality of life is it true .and I thought that perhaps a more eccentric collector will love this piece.grin

The African dog is a massive dog   and its pray can be as big as a zebra... of course when attacking a large animal  there are many dogs at the same time.

His colors were not just a challenge but a true joy to replica. I used a combined hand dyed fiber  to active the realistic results and a little bit of details were added with a tip of a feather pen.

The pose of the dog is in movement. Another challenge as  I choose (not) to add support. he stands very well in its two legs and the other two slightly  touching  the ground.

The prey is removable and it can be laid in a position that looks natural.

tail is fully pose-able, eyes are ( real ) glass,  and were handmade, with clay, paint and real glass were added as a lens.... it is not just gloss.

This set will be available this coming Sunday in  Paris.Hope you can come ,see in person    and shake my hand!

Don't forgot my GIVEAWAY. Also, please as  a reminder,  don't forget the rules to make sure you are included on the day of drawing!:)

Pictures taken with natural outside light and on my woodland with waterfall vignette.

 I would normally visit each one of you and make sure I get to know what you do, but because I am in a tight schedule, I haven't had the time yet although I ((am )) anxious to visit  you with time.*grin*

I know I get a lot international visitors, so I decided to do a weekly post perhaps, (unless I squeeze some mini for eBay), with the preview for the show.

I want to tell you I won't have many dolls  as I am focusing mostly on animals however the children I will have are some of cutest yet.... see this darlin'  AND they are very pose-able too.

There will be 2 or 3 adults too but mostly will be children and couple  teens. As much as I love to make the little girls, I am working on little boys too.;)

okay... I will leave you now with few pictures... hope you like what I made..grin.... remember these are  1:12 scale... standing  cat is under 1 1/4"tall, next cat is 1/2" tall,dog is about 2 3/4' tall and little girl is 3 1/4".
