I was only suggesting that my method be used on the fennecfoxes that have already been cast. A limited production run of a simple paint color like rainbow silver or black would be very popular right now. There are a lot of us that would appreciate a production Fox since the eBay prices are so high. Please?
Don’t apologize, 96037! I’m sure we all appreciate whatever you can do. It gets me thinking…I want to go do some more research – you’ve peaked my interest! Thank you
And here is a Pebble Red Fox!

Not even close….
Beautiful collection Stephanie; I particularly like your baby unicorn! Nice work with your lightbox too – lovely photos! 🙂
I used to do stained glass and when we wanted to stabilize the glass in strange positions to solder we would partially submerge them in sand. This looks like it will work with the pebble animals. The containers and the sand would be reusable. And, since you have to worry about paint buildup, I would suggest you put a disposable layer of papertowel or cheap fabric between the sand and the statue. That will keep the bed of sand clean and you can turn the fabric or papertowel over after the bottom has dried to provide a clean surface for holding the statue while the top is painted. Lastly, you could use a large rubberband to hold the papertowel down against the container’s side so it doesn’t accidentally brush the drying statue.
Here is what I’m talking about in pictures (I don’t have sand so I used M&Ms instead. I wouldn’t suggest them for a production line :p )

Fat Cat Upright in “Sand” to have upper body painted

I really like the color palettes you work with and you technique is very good, especially for a newbie. Nice work! I look forward to your kitty griffin and your long haired flap cat. Thanks for the pictures 🙂
I missed them……I refreshed for hours…… 😛
Me too, Chloe; me too.
All we can do is haunt the classifieds…. J)
Whine. Things are just hard recently. I don’t feel well, and just want to crawl into a dark hole and stay there. 🙁 :((
I know how you feel…maybe we can just hide for a week or so??? I’ll take whatever reprieve I can get… 🙁
Actively tried to get one but, even tho I was on the spot, never could snag one (my wallet just cheered!) Look forward to pictures… :p
Darn! I won’t have any money until tomorrow, 8 am!!
For those who can swing them, enjoy! They are very pretty! (Pictures would be nice :))
