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!!!

Well I've decided that it's the WIG that attracts animals to Stephen. They didn't bother him at all when he was wigless, and they weren't really interested in the other people. But when he was wearing his horrible cathair wig, they were drawn irresistibly to him!!!

Do you like my manikins? :D

Yes they're cute, but isn't Jack a little too trim? Perhaps some padding for his tummy. He is a full 15 stone as estimated by Stephen when he checked out Jack's posterior poking out of his little observatory.*g*
