WCC 11/52 - Shoreline Decoy

 

Another little Goldie Bronze sculpture. This one is a little shoreline decoy bird. I really like making this style of little bird, and the simplicity of the outline.

 

The bird measures approx 47mm from tail to beak.

 

I wrote a Haiku for this one.

WCC 10/52 Fluffy the Kitten

 

So, here we go with the first of 8 blog posts to catch up my Critter Challenge.

 

This is Fluffy the Kitten. He is a furry little thing made out of Goldie bronze and he measures just 22mm x 27mm. Fluffy didn't hang around long, I finished him on a Friday and he went off to a new home at my fair on the Saturday!

 

Here is his poem.

 

Fluffy the Kitten
Waiting to play
Throw him a toy
and you'll brighten his day

 

Cats are obviously popular - watch out for more :)

Weekly Critter Challenge 3/52 - Pip-Squeak

 

For my third critter I have gone back to making Goldie Bronze sculptures.

 

This one is a cute little mouse! Pip-Squeak.

 

He has a long bendy tail...

 

 

... and an appealing look.

 

 

You can see he really is tiny!

 

Here is his poem, another haiku.

 

Happy little mouse
On hind legs sits with snaking tail
Any cheese for me?

 

My next critter will be in silver and enamel :)

 

Have fun!

Weekly Critter Challenge 1/52 - Goldie

 

My first critter for my Weekly Critter Challenge 2013.

 

OK, so this is actually last weeks critter, blogger has not been letting me upload photos for some reason, but I have got round it at last!

 

This little fella is called Goldie, because he is a goldie fish, he,he!!

 

And he is made out of Goldie Bronze, so all in all, a very fitting name!

 

 

Here is the other side of him, and as you can see from the photo below, he is quite small.

 

 

If you have followed my challenges over the last two year you will recall in 2010, when I did a Bird a Week, I also wrote a Haiku poem for each one.

 

This year I have decided to write more poems. Sorry about that, but you are stuck with my poor poetic skills for the whole year!

 

They will not all be Haiku this time though.

 

Here is the poem for Goldie

 

With a flip of my tail

And a flap of my fin

In my watery realm

I'm the king pin

 

I have already made my next critter so expect another post very soon! :)

This Little Piggy....

Whoo Hooo!!! I am getting into critter mode ready for next years challenge!!! I just had to share this little guy with you :)

 

He is made in Goldie Bronze and measures about 22mm x 12mm. Tiny!!

 

 

I haven't decided on a name for him yet....

Having gone past Piglet, I have also thought of Hog Roast and Pork Scratching, but I think I am a bit food obsessed!!

 

Any ideas?

 

He does bring a smile to my face every time I look at him - he is VERY cute!!!

 

(Hope you like him Bev!! :) )

Bird a Month 7/12 - Shore Bird Decoy

 

My Bird a Month for July is a tiny bronze decoy bird on a wooden stand. It is made with a new clay I am testing called Goldie Bronze™. The bird itself measures approx 30mm from beak to tail and it about 18mm high. Goldie Bronze ™ clay will be available to buy in September this year.

I plan on making more little decoy birds soon :)
