Animal vignettes


otterine

There are numerous animals on display.  Most are artisan pieces I've collected over the years.  I made tiny dioramas for them,
though the animals are not glued in place.  I used leftover scenery materials on top of driftwood pieces.  Some bases were cut down
and sanded to better fit the size of the animal while others were left as is from the bag.

For Igraine (bat) by Olga Proshina, I stained two brackets and added jewelry finding accents.  A thin floral wire capped with belaying
pins holds the bat suspended.

Clyde the Hoopoe bird is by Katie Doka, Friedrich (rabbit) is by micksculptures724 and Hugo B. Agerton (badger) is by Steve Panner.  I made the mushrooms using Peiwen Petitgrand's book on making clay food.  The badger art is from the Graphics Fairy, printed on parchment and mounted on card stock.

The cats: Endora is by agzr*studios and Ophelia is by *Reve*.  I made soft pillow beds for each cat.  Barbara sent me the red, pink and ivory
silks as well as the nest artwork shown in other photos.  The green quilting fabric is from my stash.
