I was too impatient and took the pictures before I'd finished with them, but the legs still need to be painted black and the glue, if it dries up too messy, I will paint in the colours of the roof. I have not tried to put feathers on (as I am going to try to do with my owl), because I like them just as they are. Good enough for me. :-) (and everyone else I hope) I have been the perfectionist for too long...
I also want to welcome a new follower: Usvis/Kissapiika from Finland at Kissapiian paja. Welcome and I hope you'll find something of interest on this blog, if not on my other blogs...
Only a short update today. I am going to try and see if I can make my owl into a feathered friend....
Bye for now

They're excellent, Marion!
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice touch - houses seem to be just so much better with creatures, be it birds, familiars or indoor pets.
I've just finished my lakehouse (as much as our houses are ever finished!) and added a little thrush on the deck :)
You're right Glenda. I do love creatures in and around my houses, but I'm hesitant with dolls. It's a shame, but Eucalypta (my witch) is still in a box. She's lovely, but I reckon showing her takes away from the cottage (and she's rather tall) It's a real dilemma. Do we get to see a picture of your thrush? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like the crows and can't wait to see the owl. I have always wanted an owl with feathers, it looks rather hard to apply the feathers to lay right.

You're so right, Victoria. It IS hard. I don't know if I well ever finish/show the owl, but I know now that I will only do a few feathers at the time.... :-)
ReplyDeleteOh! yes!!! the witch house's roof needs crows!
ReplyDeleteperfect addition! Love them!

I love the crows! I made an owl with feathers not too long ago - my first attempt at sculpting and feathering. I followed an online tutorial for feathering a parrot, which interestingly enough helped a great deal. http://www.otterine.com/blog/blog1.php/2010/08/20/whooooo-s-a-cutie
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about dolls, Marion. They can be perfect for a scene, but sometimes they can make me feel a little bit excluded when I want to imagine myself in there. I sometimes like to think that the inhabitant has just stepped out :)
ReplyDeleteGlenda
Mooie kraaien Marion!!! Deze zijn in elk geval goed gelukt, maar ik ben ook erg nieuwsgierig naar je uil!!!
ReplyDeleteBrae, thanks for your comment. I went and had a look at your cutie and guess what? I have such poor memory. Not only had I forgotten that I had seen it before, but didn't even remember my own comment on your blog. Does it show my age??? ;-) Anyway, you have done a marvellous job. I don't think I will be as successful. First of all I started with black fimo (my original owl was black too) and I didn't do its face to well, but...... I'm going to persevere!
ReplyDeleteGlenda, I now regret having bought my witch in the first place and she was one of the most expensive minis I ever bought. I feel I have to put her in the cottage at some stage... :-(
Hola¡¡¡ es simplemente perfecto.Excelente trabajo¡¡¡¡
ReplyDeleteThe crows look so good.
ReplyDeleteToll ! Die Krähen sind einfach toll.
ReplyDeleteSie sehen sehr lebendig aus.

Estos cuervos son el complemento perfecto para tu tejado de casa de brujas.

The witch house is wonderfully creepy and the crows add a nice touch. I love owls.
ReplyDeleteQue maravilloso trabajo, me encantan esos cuervos, enhorabuena!!!
ReplyDeletebesitos ascension
I love your cottage Marion, and the crows. What a shame vultures are a bit big, they look very witchy. Maybe you could make a small vignette for your witch, I am sure she would feel privileged to have something made just for her!

ReplyDeleteYour crows are just fantastic !
ReplyDeleteI very much like your crows. Cant wait to see the owl as I have a feeling it will be great.
ReplyDeleteI think that the miniature crows are cute. They're not cute in real life, they're annoying. I prefer yours.
ReplyDeleteSee miniature Spanish roof tile for your crows
A marvelous idea! Never saw such a detail before - it truly caps things off.
ReplyDeleteI will become a follower.

Hi, as I am not able to do a lot on my blog right now I want to welcome you this way as a new follower. Glad you liked the roof scene. :-)
DeleteThis is fantastic, especially with the little bird painting detail above the top window. I always take pictures before the work is done. I'm a very impatient perfectionist :)
