What's mother is doing?

Familiar?? *grin*

*This gorgeous  little push-doll-stroller by the tree was made by the lovely Ilona.:)

Elisa, maybe available on my etsy store.

Bill, a modern man

Good evening dear friends and visitors! *grin*

On my last post I showed you a male head that I was working on. Well I haven't finished him yet because I think he is a character.... I am thinking of a cowboy or some kind of character.

Meanwhile I felt like sculpting a full sculpt. I normally create heads and limbs because I like my dolls to be posable but  full sculpts are fun to make and serve differently in the dollhouse world, don't you think?:)

Its late at night but I decided to make a post to show "Bill". he is already listed on my etsy store if you like to take him home, grin, or just enjoy view his pictures below!:)

He has a lot details... his skin is textured and you can see tiny blood veins too. I also added few veins on his hands and legs because his body is medium muscular frame.

For international viewers, the picture showing the dime coin is  about 3/4 of an inch (the coin). His face is very small and proportional.

I hope you enjoyed your visit !

 Have a lovely Thanksgiving week, for those that celebrate.

mini children on Etsy

These little sweeties are available on my etsy store....:)

Mounts Heads, Bear rug and Cat

Hello  and greetings from our farm!*grin*

It is a cold day today.... for the first time this winter, is calling for snow this afternoon. Needless to say , my children are very hopeful!grin

Here I share with you, few of my newly minis. As I said before , some of them will be listed on my etsy  store, so if you would like to purchase, visit the store by clicking the link on the left tab.

The mounts are kudu, deer and elk.

My most fun  to take pictures was the bear rug. Why? well my daughter said ," momma lets pretend we are "sitting" on the rug."grin

We tried and I think with a little more practice, I may figure out how to do the perspective thing better. It was much fun and of course , My grand baby  is my very perfect model!!!*grin

Hope you enjoy too!!

Have a beautiful and blessed day!*smiles*

Leather Team Horses & Wagon

Hello my dear readers and friends, *grin*

These pictures were taken right here at our farm. Today  seemed the perfect day for me to do these  foggy pictures. These horses have been waiting for pictures for a while now because I was waiting for a nice day and I know some people may don't like "foggy days" but I do!*grin*

These are  my new "leather horses" . I  have them listed along with the wagon on my Etsy shop, however , if they are not sold before I leave to Tom Bishop in Chicago, I will have them at  my table. If you are planning to come to the show , I would  love to meet  you  in person!*grin*

 Each horse have a unique position and expression.

 The hardness are all handmade from leather and many mini accessories. I tried to imitate real hardness  and they look incredible, if i may say,  real in person.:)

The horses  can be removed from the wagon and even the hardness can be removed as no glue was used but it does take patience to buckle everything back in place. ( also some fine tweezers) grin

The leather process is something that I tried last year and made 2 horses . I was blessed to find buyers  right way. I know theses are expensive collector items and i feel privilege  when one decides to collect one.

 The wagon is also handmade ,not by me, but I did altered. It is beautiful wagon!

If you like to purchase , please visit my etsy store.

If you like me to make a commission horse for you, I will be glad too, just ask!

 Thank you so much for taking your time to visit me and if you decide to leave me a comment, even small, I would like to thank you in advance. I am not always able to visit all who kindly comes here , as I still have 6 children at home and all the farm activities, homeschooling and more , keeps me very busy, but please know that I receive as a great encouragement and many times , I promise you this... I need it!

((((Thank you))))) **smiles***

Comissioned Guernsey Cow & Cat

Hello dear readers & friends!*grin*

I  don't always share all my commissioned work because I use this blog to announce my listings on ebay. It helps to keep my buyers informed  but once in a while I like  to show some of my "other" work, the commissioned ones.

Working with a request is always a challenge for me.I think beyond of just making an animal or doll. Normally the buyer has something formed in their heads and because of that, there is an expectation. 

It is like when we read a book. Normally we all "have a picture" in our heads. then the book becomes a movie and most of us say" ahh ... it was not as good as the book!" -The majority of the reason is because we have already establish a "picture"  in our heads .

My job when I accept a commission is to overcome an expectation. That is a VERY hard job. peoples minds  are an amazing thing and it is given by God .

When my client sees the pictures I send prior mailing the actual miniature, it is important to me that she or he is completely satisfied. I have ,in the past , made 2 of the same order  and choose the best one to show my client, that is how important it is for me.The one i didn't like is normally turned into my daughter's pet shop,grin! She has quite a few now!!!*blushing*

I did not send these pictures to my client yet , but she did see the cow in progress stages ( sculpting progress)  and I am taking my chances here,smiles!!!

 

I hope she will find this darlin' cow perfect for her!

 

*** cow is 1:12 scale, show in my handmade barn.

 Cow was handmade from polymer clay over a twisted copper wire and an aluminum armature.

She has hand made glass eyes and real eyelashes.

A handmade vintage copper bell is hanging around her neck with a aged rope.

I made a "cow's tag" with real numbers. This tag was printed on plastic   and is a perfect replica from real life sizes cow's tag.

Fine wool power was used for her coat. It  was carefully hand cut from sheeps wool.

All colors are natural as it was not needed to add any paint.

Cow is sealed for durability .

It is not a toy, not recommended for children under 12 years old.

This is a collectors item!

For requests, please contact me via my website. I am able to take special requests starting August,

Order are schedule according my book. Turn around is normally 3 weeks more or less, depends of what the request is.****

 

little cat is on my ebay!:)
