Trouble with my Blog

I just wanted to take a minute to let all of you know that I do go through all my Blogging Friends and check on what you have been doing.  I have tried MANY times to leave a comment, but, for some reason it keeps telling me that I do not have access from my Blog to leave a comment.  I am not sure if anyone else is having any problems like this, however, I just wanted to let everyone know that I do go in and see what you all are up to or making.  Please don't think that I ignore my friends, because I don't.  You all are doing beautiful work and I would like to comment (NOW) how much I enjoy clicking on your blogs and seeing what is going on in your world.  I will continue to check my Blogging Buddies and try to leave comments, but, if I can't - just know that I am keeping up with all of you.

Dollhouse Miniature Harry Potter Dumbledore Cabinet with Fawkes

Well, for those of you, (my blogging buddies), out there, I thought I would just post the pictures that Tara has put up in her store.  She received my package today and everything arrived just great.  She took great pictures and put them up in her store.  Below is just one picture of each mini that I completed for her.  If you would like to see more pictures, please stop by Tara's store.  I really had a lot of fun making these minis.  I hope you all like them.

Dollhouse Miniature Harry Potter Dumbledore Cabinet with Fawkes

Hi Everyone,

For those of you waiting to see the completed Dumbledore Cabinet with Fawkes, I just wanted to let you know that Tara did not receive my package on Saturday as I thought.  We are hoping it will arrive tomorrow.  I also wanted to let you know that the surprise I sent along with the Dumbledore Cabinet are two (2) more Harry Potter desks.  These 2 desks will match the new cabinet perfectly, not only in color, but, also in the arrangement and type of items that I used.  Both of the desks are very detailed in every way and would be lovely with the new cabinet. 

So, for now I am not making any more minis. ;(  I will be vacationing with Tara, my son and grandchildren. ;)  I will be leaving on Thursday, September the 22nd and returning home on October 2nd.  When I get back, I have a few idea's that I would like to attempt.  So until then, I hope all my friends will have a great month, and I will sign back in next month.

Love to All,

Dollhouse Miniature Harry Potter Dumbledore Cabinet with Fawkes

For all my miniature blogging friends out there, I just wanted to let you know that the feathers came in and I finally finished Fawkes.  If I say so myself, he really came out BEAUTIFUL and it shows.  I really hate to see him go, but I just packaged him up along with a surprise for Tara's Shop.  She does not know it yet, as I have not told her, I sent a couple other Harry Potter miniatures along with Fawkes.  So if you are interested in more Harry Potter miniature goodies, Tara should have the package by Saturday.  Of course she will have to take pictures before putting the minis up for sale in her store.  If you have a chance, please stop in and check out my new Harry Potter minis at Tara's Store - I think they turned out REALLY nice.

I hope all of you had a safe and fun Labor Day weekend.

Love to all,

Dollhouse Miniature Harry Potter Dumbledore Cabinet with Fawkes

Okay my friends, here is a sneak peek at my new mini that I have been working on for well over the past week.  First off, these pictures (as usual are not the greatest) pretty fuzzy!!!, however, when Fawkes is totally completed and he is well anchored to the cabinet, I will be shipping him and the cabinet to Tara. I know that her pictures are always better than mine.

I took a great deal of time and patience on Fawkes.  In creating him I did my homework.  I am not sure if anyone else has attempted to create Fawkes, but, if you know of someone who has, I would love to see their work.  When constructing Fawkes I started by using wire and forming the body, head and beak from one piece of wire.  I then molded the clay around the wire so that Fawkes is all one piece, (this gives him strength).  His legs also have wire and after molding the clay around the legs and creating his feet, I took the extended wire left on his legs and inserted that part into the body and then baked him.  I wanted to make sure that he would be very sturdy. Fawkes was definitely a challenge, but as most of you know, I love a good challenge.  Fawkes alone took me 3 days to make and feather.  However, I ran out of red and yellow feathers, so I am waiting for them to come in.  Then I can finish feathering him.  I tried to stay true to the movie when making Fawkes.  In the movie, Fawkes changes his appearance a couple of times, so I composed him by looking at the pictures and trying to come up with something I thought was close.  I detailed him in every way possible right down to the fine details in his face and beak. 

I then proceeded to making the Dumbledore cabinet using every bit of my imagination.  There are books, scrolls, potion bottles, crystal ball, pictures, and a lot more.  I left no stone unturned on this cabinet.  Everything is finely detailed.  You could say I put my heart in this mini.  I know that when I made the Harry Potter desk with Hedwig, I said that I hated to see him leave, well I feel the same about Fawkes.  He is so beautiful, he actually looks like he has a personality all of his own.

Well, now I am just waiting for the feathers to come in.  I am having my husband run to the Post Office everyday to check for me.  I am sure he will be happy when they finally come in so I will stop nagging him about going to the Post Office - LOL :)  As soon as he is finished, I will ship him and the cabinet off to Tara and she will post it in here shop.  I sure hope you like this mini as much as I do - it was challenging and fun.

Love to all,

Sherry
