Here's the first of this years new couples in spring colours. Visit my Victoriana page to see more.
For new visitors who might not have seen my couples before I thought I'd mention a few things. I usually do about 4 sets of mixed Victorian figures a year. Each one is hand painted in enamels and then further decorated with a variety of accessories, ribbons, gems, real miniature hats, bows, feathers lace etc.
As you can see from the close ups above, the ladies often have broaches or necklaces and tiny buttons, while the gentlemen have watch chains and buttons, just to add a little bit of detail to each figure. As usual these figures are available to buy on a first come first served basis. I can sometimes do repeats of certain figures depending on what I have available, but I can not guarantee this. At the moment I am very busy with other work so there will be no repeats at the present time. My next lot of figures will be in late spring - April / May.
I hope everyone is getting into the festive spirit, not long till Christmas. I've created two very special Christmas Ladies this weekend I wanted to share with you all. These lovely ladies are off through the snow to two of my friends who I hope will enjoy getting them Christmas day.
Well as the sign says this is the last custom figures I'm doing this year. I don't plan on doing any more Victorians till late spring sometime. I've got lots more things to do at the moment. As usual the figures are on my for sale page.
I was recently asked if I could do some Scotsmen in kilts so here they are. Fun to do for a change but I don't fancy doing anymore and definitely not the bagpipes!
Well I've had a slight change in plan from yesterday instead of working on my houses I've ended up fixing up the background on my small diorama table and finishing off a few more ladies instead. I've also managed to add some wallpapers to the Gothic house and complete a car. It's been all go here as usual.
I've had to stop work for my dinner so here are the rest of my Victorian Figures, including Hercule Poirot and a Victorian Postman with orignal green postbox.
