Adorable babywerewolf

Landed on my doormat today. I love him to bits, esp with the voodoodoll he is shlepping about. Where do you GET the ideas from, Kristy?!!! Bwaahahhaa!!!!

As you can see, someone helped me unpack ?!
If you click the Fluffy picture, you can see how really small this babywerewolf is...

Mommies little helper

Like most cats, my little Fluffy is adamant about his rights as a digicat and a minicat(although not a householdcat, definitely). He looks very sweet, though, doesn't he?

AN AWFUL WARNING

If you are following the link and go to KITZ! be prepared to sit sometime -long time, in fact- at your computer, it is one of the most devious and tricky sites I know with the most fascinating finds....:-)
Other sites with the same danger signs hanging overhead are:Teepeecrafts (UK),Dragonfly (USA), Michelles miniatures (USA)and several more.....( will do more of this later again, grin)
Michelles miniatures actually made the lovely kitty mugs with portraits of all furkids that I have and had(three have gone on to the Rainbow Bridge)

my camera died on me

So I am going to snag some pics here and there !

This week I fell AGAIN for one of Kristy's critters, a baby-werewolf. I honestly could not resist him, he looks sooooooooo sweet and scary with his little voodoo doll:-) He will scare the heck out of my sweet bunny-class,I am afraid.He is on his way, we hope!

Today I was working on a workshop I will do for minis4all,writing instructions and photographing each step. Hazel and Joan will have to be my guinea pigs. I hope there will be more mini'ers who are going to like doing this.
The general instructions are here;
you will need 34 gauge wire, for sale on e-bay( just search for "34 gauge wire") or in beading shops, like Jillybeads.

Other kits and great ideas are sold by Shelly Norris via Kitz! ( search for : Shelly's Odz'n Endz.) Shelly even makes 1/24 scale wire flowers(I hope to insert the link later; she makes amazing flowers!)

At work again so....

 

Flowerpot cottage will have to await its turn till I have a Sunday off, and time to mini on that day, too( I prefer daylight and some hours of concentrated working when doing such projects). So , after work in the evening I am stitching away on the Big Boria(remember, a quarter of a million stitches???).
I made reasonably good progress, although it is discouraging to see that 80-100 hours of stitching hardly make a dent in the stitching; it drags on.I am going to need a lot of pats on the back before this is over.I think my friend Lisa's may be one of the few of these in existence(although I do know that Caz and Joan W. from the UK are also working on this one)

And, of course, there is also housework to do,one has to shop,wash,iron(sometimes),get some shoes, cook food etc....

And here we are!!

 
 
 


OK. it needs some touch ups here and there, as yet, the paint unfortunately has a soft shine, so I need to try and "matte"it more. And the brickwork IS horrible, will see whether I can touch THAT up ( hmmmmm)

For the "grass" I used some crumbled oasis(florists foam), mixed with some colors of flock, not seeing any railway landscaping materials in the house:-)

about paperclay and Fiona's tips

 
 

Fiona gives a good tip for rolling paperclay if you don't have a board nor lay your grubby hands on them quickly:
use baking paper for the underground. I did so. using silicon-coated paper, byw;I used some scrap wood for thickness, like you can see.
For makingg the faux thatch in this scale she advises using a hard brush ( toothbrush for smaller edges like near the chimneys),going over the applied but still wet clay. I happily combed my way over the roof. In paperclay you have got lots of time to do that.
