Ok! Now that my migraine is over...
Here's my Final toy turns!
I'm really happy with how they came out, and all the hard work I put into them really paid off...
Thank you to everyone for saying such great things about the pieces!


Here's a fun article from Tomopop I came across about them.

-Thank you for the love!-

Here's a tad about the process of making these lil' suckers...

The Vinylmation toys they sent me...
Chop chop! -magic sculpt to the rescue....

Cut brass for her staff & sculpting the crown....
(Most of the pieces on both the rabbit & the Queen were sculpted by hand)


Time to spray 'er down...why hello Radio!



-n' paintin' bonanza...

Placing the cards is like building a pirate ship in a bottle!


Yes...! The light works...

The Queen gives her wink of approval...

A Huge Thank you to Jo, her new mom.

Thanks to Stephen Chiodo who taught me to "flock" ;)


and to my husband- and crazy good artist/miniature & mad scientist extrodinaire who engineered the bunny's insides!


I sculpted Alice the size of the tip of my pinky...geees.

And here we have a headless bunny. Yep! Rick put his lighting switch in his head.
