Market hall resident!

I made my first attempt at flocking a sheep!  Not too bad, but I really feel that the Schleich sheep is just a tad large.  I shall have a go at a couple of lambs next and I might be happier with them, but mama sheep can maybe be tethered to the cart outside!  That way she won't take over the whole market area.  Shall have to wait and see once I have completed the cart.  So much to do, but it's all so different and I'm having fun.





I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

  1. YES, YES, YES!!! That was exactly what I was talking to you about in a comment I made not long ago. You did a great job too!!! Did you find the lamb? His legs need to be thinned out before they are flocked but oh he's so cute!

  4. I assume you found this then. http://paizleypawz.com/gallery.asp?WebsiteID=41375&PageID=392939&AssetID=440997&FFS=1&pageName=How+To%3A+Customize+Schleich+Sheep+Tutorial
    I had no idea when I wrote you the the first comment about wanting to make one that Kerri had published this tutorial. Those plastic animals could be modified before the finishing I think.
    Yours is just wonderful. I look forward to seeing it in the Market Hall.

  5. Oh, your mama sheep looks wonderful, she looks like she just had a good bath, her wool is so clean, I just want to run my fingers through it!

  6. Sure did Catherine - thanks! And Elga - will have to get more colour into the wool but I didn't want to over-do it. It looks quite grubby as it is - but doesn't show very well in the pics.
    It was fun to do - but time consuming!!
