Two Pieces For Sale

 I have two pieces on hand that I would like to move on.  At this point I don’t know if I will ever make any more bears/toys.  Life has become very complicated with hubby’s illness and I don’t deal with stress very well.

1.  The first one is a tiny walking toy pelican named Polly.  The pelican is a miniature working toy design.   She is 3 inches tall and 2 3/4 inches long and made from cream German Shulte miniature mohair.  Polly has German glass eyes and ultra suede feet and beak, which contains a tiny sculpted Fimo fish.   She has a brass push rod and her feet go around, like she is walking, when pushed.  Polly wears a tiny silk ribbon around her neck.  POLLY is SOLD

2.  The second one is a HOPPING BUNNY - This sweet hopping bunny toy is made from a gorgeous dense Shulte mohair that was perfect for this piece.  His tummy and tail are cream mohair, he has molded, wool felt ears and a sweet, embroidered face, with nylon whiskers.  Bunny is 4 1/2” inches long and 3 inches high and is stuffed firmly with excelsior and steel shot.  His body is wired and he is mounted on brass axles and wooden wheels.  His back wheels are offset, so he hops when pulled.  Bunny has German amber glass eyes, an embroidered face with shading on his eyes ears and above his tail, to accent his features.  He wears a red velvet ribbon around his neck and has a pull string.  Scarlet actually fits well on the Hopping Bunnies back and loves to go for a ride.  HOPPY is SOLD

      All three pieces will come with a signed hang tag and were designed and created by me.  Shipping is $20.00 US each but I will definitely do combined shipping,  Again, please don’t feel any pressure - I just wanted to give you the first opportunity.  I hope things are well with you.  Take care.

1.  POLLY       

2.  HOPPING BUNNY

MINIATURE WATERCOLOURS AND PRINTS

I have managed find a local place to scan and make some commercial prints of my miniature watercolours.  They are printed with pigment inks on a matt, acid free paper, and are just under 3” wide x 3 1/2” long.  I am also selling the originals, which are the same size.  They will fit in most of the miniature frames found at Michaels Craft store, which are inexpensive.  They can be trimmed a bit smaller, if you wish, or matted and framed larger - it’s a personal choice.   I have also printed a few of them at half this size, for those who want doll house size.  I have printed these ones myself on a matt, acid free paper.  

I am asking $37.50 for the originals and $12.50 for the 3” prints - this includes shipping costs.  These are the prices I feel comfortable with  - commercial printing is expensive and the watercolours were labour intensive.!  The dollhouse ones are approximately 1 1/3” x 1 1/2” and they will be 1 for $5.00 or 3 for $12.50 (shipping include). I will be mailing by standard post as tracking from here is $14.50.  They will be mailed in a cellophane sleeve and tucked inside a card with envelope and then secured in a second envelope.  I have sold several paintings recently and shipping this way has been successful.  At this point, I only have PayPal as a payment method.  I will be purchasing mailing supplies this weekend and will start shipping next week.

Originals:  $35.00 + $2.50 shipping

 Prints:  $10.00 +$2.50 shipping

Miniatures:  One for $5.00 or 3/$10.00
