White rabbit miniatures

Well finally the sun has managed to shine through the deep grey skies over the last few days and it really feels like Spring is just around the corner. The crocuses, snowdrops and daffodils are pushing through the ground now and the evenings are staying lighter for longer. Hopefully we are now past the sodden weather we have had over the last few weeks which has left so many homes under water here in the UK. My heart goes out to the people who have lost everything in the storms in the Southern counties. Hopefully the sun will start to dry the flood waters soon and people will be able to start rebuilding their homes again.

I can't believe it's already been a few weeks since I last posted on my blog, the time just seems to have flown by. I have been busy making many miniatures for Easter with lots of lovely soft pastel colours. I'm also very inspired by Alice in Wonderland at the moment, especially the white rabbit and have been making lots of white rabbit sculptures with my own more simplistic interpretation. I've added my signature roses to the pieces and a few cute red hearts too. I would love to know what you think of them. 2 of the white rabbit sculptures above can be found on my ebay site http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/fizzyclaret/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3692 along with 2 miniature 1:48 scale polymer clay settees. Well, gotta dash but I hope to be back here soon with another post :)

Miniature white rabbit teapots

Well the rain is back so there's not much to do other than to stay indoors so I decided to work on some more polymer clay miniature items. I made some cute little white rabbit teapots. The teapots are all in miniature and range in size from 3/4 of an inch (1.9cm) tall to 1 & 1/4 inches (3.1cm) tall. I'm enjoying sculpting rabbits so much at the moment and will be making some larger sized ones to put on some Easter treat boxes in the next couple of months.

Alice in Wonderland Queens guards

I love the film Alice in Wonderland (the old cartoon version) and love all the wonderful characters there are in that film. I get to watch this film a lot as my 4 year old daughter loves it too. The Queen of Hearts guards pictured above are my interpretation from the film. I made these guards for a customer 2 years ago and decided to make them again but with some alterations. I love how serious they look and their helmets look kind of ancient Roman style. The guards each measure just 1 & 1/2 inches tall so would be great for a 1:48 scale project. The materials used for this project were polymer clay, mount board, florist wire and acrylic paint for the fine detailing. Feel free to leave a comment on what you think of them. I will be putting them on ebay tonight and will pop back here with a link to the page once they have been listed.

Ok they're listed and the link is here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350968078199
