1:12th scale mummified cats


 

One thing I wanted to do with these that I never got around to was put a little "brass" rectangle on the wooden base. I really enjoyed making these, one of the many, many, many items I had planned for my shop. 

1:12th scale masters

These are all of the masters I made.

Labyrinth is playing in the background, it's sort of funny, because he just said "nobody can blame you for walking away" as I uploaded these pictures. 


 

1:12th scale Halloween bats



Bats made using Japanese grace clay pressed in to moulds. 

 Pom poms made by wrapping thread between two needles held about 6mm apart, then tied in the middle then taken off the needles and each "loop" cut then shaped, and it was a bit mad making tiny pom poms.

1:12th scale Indian Elephant corbel

At some point I had this thought in my head to make some antique Indian corbels, but I couldn't find one I liked to copy so I just made one up. My plan for these, was to have two on either side of a window possibly with a hole drilled through the sides of them to put a curtain pole through, with a shelf above. They are made with plaster, the tusks are tips of wooden cocktail sticks sanded down in to tiny tusks and painted white. I started to get funny about quality control, and I couldn't handle the tiniest casting flaw bubble, and it's not because I'm a perfectionist. If you zoom in on the elephant you will see a casting flaw on the eye. I would have almost considered this a second, and to be honest I was trying to avoid criticism, I personally am happy with it, but at the time I would have had difficulty sending this to a customer.


 





1:12th scale mushroom trough

This was a little trough I made, similar to hypertufa ones I used to make when I was a child, with the help of an adult of course. They were good for making little fairy gardens. This miniature one was made using milliput clay pressed into sand.


An array of mushrooms, made with Japanese grace clay pushed in to silicone moulds. I used that 2 part pebeo silicone stuff, using a ball stylus and various other tools to make mushroom moulds.
