Reindeer WIP

I thought , for fun, to show you one of my animals in progress. In the first picture you can see the animal sculpted , waiting to be sanded to smooth the surface. I will confess, making the antlers are not my favorite thing....it is time consuming as each has a wire skeleton that needs to be just right. Keep in mind that the reindeer is 1" scale ,so it is very small . the antlers are thinner than the pictures show. They need the wire in order to make them sturdy.

The final deer is really nice and the antlers turned up like velvet as I wanted too.*grin*

I have been so very busy here at the farm but as soon as I can I will do more post and more pictures will come!

I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving with your loved ones. We did! Thank you for stopping by. I am *very* Thankful for each of you that leaves me a note. It makes my day!!!(((smiles)))

Reindeer and Elf

For Suzie.............

I had a lot of fun making this commission work. This was my first miniature elf and he sure made me smile.
I was asked to make a *Rodolph* and an elf and I thing this reindeer looks a lot like the real guy...don't you think? well... my husband told me that if this was not Rodolph , it was a reindeer with a flu.*grin*

Thanks Suzie!!!!!!!!!!!!
