I think he'll eat, because he needs energy for the fair! We'll be at Miniaturitalia next week-end :)

Sculpting and painting this little mouse was hard work for my eyes ^^ I used a stereoscopic microscope, and painted him wit the paintbrush with one only bristle that I used for the little birds :)
While the mouse think about the cherry, we are making preparations for the leaving. We hope to meet you at the Miniature Fair next saturday and sunday! :D

Blue Tit in 1/12 Scale - Polymer Clay Mini Sculpture

The little Blue Tit loves Pomegranate too :D 
Here is another little bird ready to fly for Miniaturitalia. Some little snowflakes fell today in Rome, so he'll need extra-feed to fly as far as Milan, I think ^^

The Blue Tit has wonderful colors: blue wings, yellow body, green back and a lovely black and white eye mask. He seems a fairytale character! It was hard reproducing this color, because they are so lively that in a sculpture it was the risk they become false. Maybe this is just the magic of the Blue Tit: bringing in the sky the colors of the wild flowers and fields.

I used the same only-one-bristle brush that I used for the little Long-Tailed Tit to paint it, and the acrylic colors for miniatures too. In this case painting was more hard than sculpting, I need to study volume and space to put the color with great attention, but I think in the end it was enough like the little one that came to visit me some time ago ^^
Who knows, will he recognize himself seeing this little miniature? ^^

Long-Tailed Tit in 1/12 Scale - Polymer Clay Mini SculptureMiniature

Although all new miniatures I'll exhibit at the fair are in the video I uploaded on my YouTube last Monday and shared in my last post, I decided to dedicate a post and some pics for each of them :)

Here is the first, the long Tailed Tit eating a pomegranate :)

The Long-Tailed Tit is a very tiny bird, and it's was hard sculpting and painting him. I painted it using a brush with just one only bristle ^^
I used acrylic colors specific for miniatures, to paint the bird, and soft pastels to paint the pomegranate :)

Long Tailed Tit and Blue Tit are friends, and the Blue Tit will be on my next post :)
