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!!!

They are great! This must have been very early in their acquaintance because Jack is still quite slim. ;D So far we are having a wonderful time. Stephen Bear was hard to get out of the Victory's orlop and Jack played around with a cutlass. In the end they visited friends in Bath and today they had a good airing because we went for a walk through the fields from Petersfield to "Ashgrove"

I think your Jack, Stephe, Sophie and Diana would have enjoyed that too.
Thanks again for making them and posting those photos

Aww, sounds like you and the boys are having a wonderful time! (And I'm glad Jack is getting a chance to take some excercise!)

I'll admit that I HAVE carried Stephen around in my purse a few times... But only when I was going shopping for something for the poppets and needed him for size. Without his wig, he's the least fragile (and the most impervious to accidents, which are many.)
