Ririne's Miniatures: June 2014

Custom 1/12 scale felted animals on a movable metal wire armature

My love for miniatures, animals and dolls has always been very strong. Drawing, sculpting and animation are also part of my passions. Since I am an eternal kid inside, I like to move and play with my miniatures which lead me to learn needle felting so that I can make movable scupltures on a metal armature. My sculptures can take many positions and are made from a mix of wool and silk. They are 1/12 scale and are made to fit in any dollhouse scene. I simply love to do custom sculptures of people's pets and am always looking forward to a new challenge. I also started to make ball jointed dolls which has been a passion of mine since I can remember. I am open for commissions, please contact me should you have any questions or comments.

A miniature felted Shih-tzu dog reunion

Last month, I went to the Kingston miniature show and had a blast. I was looking at a display of private collections, after having fun with the scavenger hunt, when I stumbled upon a familiar felted face. Why, it was one of my miniature felted puppies that I sold at the Montreal show! I was very honnored to see that its new owner wanted to show it off. He looked very happy with his new family!
