Limited Edition Spyglass Scarecrow
Another big hit from Steve Buddle, this time with a limited edition scarecrow. a miniature like this one require something special like a checkered patterna and some extra attention to the base. I have added a dryed corn plant made by paper on a steel wire and painted with diluited acrylics. The base is a florist paper covered wire (a steel wire covered by paper used in floral arrangements) and the leaves are done using TwistArt paper (a sort of paper wire called also Pirrka, when you untwist it it takes a realistic shade and texture) Here you can see the product and on the left bar some tutorials: http://www.artefloreale.com/twistart/nozioni_base/basics.htm I have cutted the leaves and glued on the paper covered wire, then added a couple of corns done with a fuse of green stuff covered by the same paper. The barbs for the corns and the top of the plant are done with silk and white glue. I have also thickened the reed sections with some glue. A couple of washes with dark brown ink and it's all :)
