CollieFeathers Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Working on a 1/12 scale Shetland Pony. Will post progress photos. Equine miniatures are a specialty but this is the first one I've done 100% from scratch and felted. Having a lot of fun with him. I have visions of paring him with a porcelain child doll. He is 3 inches at the shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiseleH Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 He looks great, cannot wait to see him with ears and tail. How did you handle the armature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollieFeathers Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Hi GiseleH - Thanks so much. The armature is made of pipe cleaners. The hooves and eyes made of polymer clay. Will update the photos soon with the polymer clay eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendMiniaturist Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Perhaps I'm not the only child who wanted a pony, so getting one in miniature would be fun... I have never tried felting, but It will be fun to watch your progress... we had a demo at our miniature club once. My cousins had horses, so I did get to fulfill the need to learn to ride a horse... wonderful memories, and now that I look back, I realize I am lucky that I didn't have the chores that went with the ownership. Yes a 3" porcelain doll would be a nice addition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CollieFeathers Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 The pony has gone to a big fiber fair in North Carolina. He is entered in the needle felted 3D sculpture contest. Hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendMiniaturist Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It is fun to see you try different mediums and your success. I hope the Shetland does well at the Fair too. There is a Fiber Fair in NC? What is the name of the event? We were just talking about the big woodworking and/or furniture shows in NC, as my husband attended the show once... woodwoorking & fiber, would be an excellent weekend adventure.

Mrs. L. Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 He is charming, and his expression is so pensive and kind. He will be glad to have a child companion! What are his hoofs made of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
