Lovebirds – making of

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Става въпрос за тези малки птички:
It’s all about these little birds:

Yes, I know that like the meerkats, the lovebirds also look better without the final varnish, but still cannot find a better way to preserve them.

I made them as a gift for a nice couple – good friends of mine.

The tom-tit fell in love with the robin and they decided to live together.

They chose a branch of floating wood from the sea, to remind them of all the travels they dream to make.

(I was looking to upload the photos from the process of making, because I thought it would be interesting, but when you postpone something for too long, it’s getting hard to find it…)

Some more meerkats, please

I never thought I’d be able to make more meerkats, but hey, when your only brother is having a birthday and is looking at you with big begging eyes, what can you do?

I think it came out pretty good this time, too. The little one is my favorite. :-)

I hope my brother is going to like them. :-)

Simply fantastic!

A friend showed me yesterday something wonderful that I would like to share with you.
I am in awe, amazed by the artwork of Irma:

This one especially brings back memories from my childhood with grandma:

All the beautiful clay illustrations can be seen here: DePlastilina.

Great, huh?

Meerkat Manor

I guess it’s hardly left anyone on Earth not knowing what kind of animals are the meerkats (Suricata suricatta).
Surely big part of the human population is familiar with the famous Animal Planet’s sequel.

The meerkats

Few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me if I will accept an order to make some clay figures. He wanted to make a surprise gift to his girlfriend, which apparently is a great fan of these lovely animals.

And because meerkats usually live together in families, the only condition was to make more than two figures.

Finally, I made five of them. I am proud to present them to you:

As far as I know, the receiver is very happy with them. And so do I, since the making was such a big pleasure to me. :-)
