This is my first auction without a donation. My propane is at 5 % and I need to raise enough money money to buy more. I debated pretty hard about this one. I can handle a cold shower or two until I can get the funds. But I don't want to do it to poor Bullet. He suffers enough already with his baths. So this one is 100% to the Robin charity. My propane company makes me buy 100 gallons at a time because I live so out of the way. I'm also figuring that the next two will also be the same as propane is over $3.00 a gallon. Gulp.
So here's Cheapie. I named him after my little sister's Easter chick the grew up to be a very fiesty rooster. He used to chase the dog around the yard!

I LOVE HIM! My chickens are now two years old, but you captured the spirit of a feisty little chick perfectly! :) Great work! I had a little Orpington rooster chick that was the friendliest baby and lives now with 18 hens and is a happy guy!
another wonderful creature! I love him!
and you do not have to explane that you need money for a living - being an artist doesn't mean that you must live in poverty and work for free just to make others happy :) I wish you the best luck in auction - you deserve it!
Thanks, everyone for the compliments and comments. When I was little we raised chickens. I always used to like going to the hatchery to pick the baby chicks out.
Hi Kathy,
Welcome to my blog and thanks for the compliment. My work isn't exactly miniature, though. Most of my small critters are actually life-sized. I do however really admire miniature work and make some either 1:12 or 1:6 scale.
I wondered if you would be making any more felted chickies? I missed out on this one on ebay! Here's a link to a photo of one of my ladies when she was a baby: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21708545@N06/5502357807/
Hi Elizabeth,
If you're interested I could do another chick. You little girl looks very sweet :-)
