Surprise!

[nid_dabeille]

I finished my Surprise Family!  (Jack, Stephen, Sophie, Diana.)

Disclaimer:  I did not make the bodies.  I just dressed and adorned them They're just standard little wooden manikins.  (Where did the spelling "manikin" come from?  What happened to "mannequin"?  Anyway, these are called 4 1/2" wood "manikins.")  (My art supply store was having a huge going-out-of-business sale, and they were only $2.50 each!  How could I resist???)

Surprise!!!

An unfortunately typical scene.  (Jack underestimated his own strength.)


A more pleasant scene.  Diana sans base, because with it she positively towers over Stephen, especially with her outre' hair.

ETA:  As a joke, I made Stephen a temporary wig out of my cat's fur, but when I tried to photograph him wearing it, the cats became very interested.  In fact, Nemo ended up carrying it off in his mouth and destroying it.  I didn't mind.

For more pictures (including closeups of the fabulous wigs, and Stephen wigless and also with his messy!wig, see my photobucket album.  Do it!!!

Aww, thanks! Sigh, I haven't yet attempted to repair his wig. I hunted around for other lost bits, but to no avail. Maybe I'll tackle it tomorrow.

I love my little Surprise Family. :D

Hee - well, I think I bought the only ones they had left! And besides, I wouldn't want the others to distract from the glory of the original four. Glad you like them!

They are perfect and I hope that your store will resuply those so you will be able to make more of them:)

Unfortunately, the store was going out of business, so there will be no more of them. But also, they were SO MUCH WORK to make that I don't think I'd possibly be able to make any more!

That explains the price:)
I bet that it had to be hell of work but the results are perfect:)
It was very good idea to make those dolls
