KRISTY'S MINI MENAGERIE

Hello and welcome, anybody who may come across this little blog of mine! I've just started this blog, and plan on focusing on miniatures, animals, and miniature animals. However, I'm also hoping it can be a fun place to talk about just about anything. We'll see.........

An Itty Bitty Teeny Tiny Duck

Why do I do this to myself?  My "comfort zone" is between 3/4 inch to 1& 1/4 inch.  But I personally LOVE the really tiny little miniatures, so I guess that's why I torture myself trying to make them.  I almost gave up on this little one several times, but he kept quacking at me to please finish him, LOL.  And being the Easter season, I had to make him a little Easter treat, a chocolate egg (well half of one, lol), filled with jelly beans.
Taking a decent picture is even harder, which I did finally give up on.  So here are the crappy pictures of my finally finished PITA duckling.

    Absolutamente asombroso!!!
    No se como puedes hacer esas pequeñas niniaturas y que se vea con tanto detalles, no podia haberte quedado mas real.
    Comprendo lo dificil de hacer la fotografia, pero vale la pena es genial para Pascua con esos caramelos de goma en el huevo.
    besitos ascension

    Oh WONDERFUL. He is worth every P you've had in your A. But I hope you'll recover soon. Otherwise you have to fiddle with your critters standing! And I don't want to think about the P you'll get then.... Mini hugs Andrea

    What you perhaps didn't know about me - I like cartoons and am a big fan of Carl Barks, known as "The Good Artist" among Donald Duck fans for a long time. He explained his success not with being a good story teller or so but with a simple statement: "Everybody loves ducks." Well, let me transform this a little bit into "I love your duck." ;O)

    Greetings

    That is the cutest think I have EVER seen! I love his hat. LOL

    BTW... Have you tried that pre-cut flock? Martha Steward has some I really like. I am going to try to use it on a animal soon.

    OMG! He's adorable. I don't know how you do it either! I've tried 1:12 scale and it's too tiny for me. I can't imagine smaller.

    Oh thank you so much everyone! You're all way too sweet!!!!! Your comments always put a smile on my face no matter what kind of day I'm having.
    Catherine, pre-cut flock?? Sounds like a dream come true, LOL. Cutting flocking is soooooo incredibly time consuming (and boring too). The only thing is, I would need to make sure I had the exact color "fur" to match. If you try it, let me know. :)
