Surprise!

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!!!

I'm so very behind in posting but these are absolutely darling! You are so wonderfully crafty, and you put your skills to such good use.

Even though your kitties are very, very naughty, they're still adorable. But Stephen would do something like make a cat hair wig...

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
