It was alot of fun and a real learning experience. I have to say that it gave me a greater appreciation for miniature artists and their skill. I'm working on a fox next. We'll see how this one goes.

Te ha quedado genial
Mi hijo tiene uno que se llama Kaiser y es igualito al que tu has hecho
Enhorabuena!!!
besitos ascension
This puppy looks great :-) I like tiny things...they take a lot of concentration and art to make but look fantastic in the end...as if they are from another world where you have a chance to look in.
I think he's just as cute as can be....and realistic too! His flocking is done so well, not clumpy looking, but natural. I'm not sure how you could improve on him since he already seems perfect. Can't wait to see more!
Robin, you did a great job, especially for your first try. I can't wait to see your fox!
Amazing!!!! And so cute!
Hi Robin,
Could you please explain the process you used. I don't know if I understand exactly what you've done. Is the dog a polymer body with flocking, or is he a polymer armature with felted body? Please email me (meriw@cox.net) or post about it please, as I'm very interested. As usual your talent shines through in the finished product, and it's the cutest little bull terrier I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing him with us.
Hugs,
Meri
Thanks Ascension, I'll bet kaiser is really cute.
Liza, I like to work large generally. But you're right about looking inward with the miniatures. It's a nice change.
Thanks Jeanie, I was really worried about the flocking coming out right.
Thanks Fiver :-)! my fox is being kind of a pain right now. I'm trying to work out how I'm going to sculpt those tiny eyes!
Your compliment is greatly appreciated< Betty!
Jeanie, He was sculpted from polymer clay and then finely cut alpace wool was glued to him after he was baked.
I found that my attempts at needle felting miniatures always ends with me having some very bloody fingers ....SO fun to try something new to add to the craft repertoire . I think he looks amazing and am really looking forward to seeing more of your flocked animals .
Truly amazing, it looks so lifelike!
You have such a wonderful talent!
I have looked at the earlier items you've made & sold but the only thing stopping me from bidding on them was the size. I'll be looking forward to seeing your fox and all the other....hopefully there'll be others....creatures that you make to scale.
hugs Karin
Thanks Krex, Heather & Karin. I'm thinking of trying a chimpanzee next. Hopefully her fur will turn out better than the poor little fox.
