Stew and Dumplin'


My two newest commissions, Stew and Dumpling. :D
They are 1:12th scale furred sculpts. As usual they are sculpted over a wire and foil armature with Fimo Puppen clay. Painted with my lovely new Galleria paints and then furred. I've taken to printing off a few angles on some photo paper for when I'm furring so I've included those photos for you to see. They have some more bunny siblings so if their Mum likes them, I think I'll be doing some more.


Obviously these two had very intricate markings, so in places I couldn't get it exactly the same, I'm not that skilled yet, and the small space doesn't allow for it. But I try to get the major markings as exact as I can.





Little Stew has quite the story, she has survived a spinal problem, so I wanted to inject a little bit more specialness into her. I loved how her ears are 'helicopter' meaning they're neither uppy nor downy all the time. So I attached her ears with wires and covered the join with a bit of fur so they can be gently posed to match her mood.


Stew also has some black tones on her, for the flocking I did this by mixing two colours of alpaca together, for the bottom I used my lovely new fabric pens that Imogen ordered for me.
