My handmade props

[Guest]

[grecopa]

I did a couple of creature props.  A Mandrake and a Cornish Pixie.  The pixie has a small hook in his back so he can be hung from a string.  What does everyone think?  I will probably put one of them on ebay on Saturday night.  Which one should go first?  No idea why the pixie face photo is so BIG.  Sorry about that.

Thats awsome Kelly. I love the Little Mandrake. That be really cool for a party. Have pixes flying around and potted Mandrakes sitting around the room

The Pixie is lovely but that Mandrake is gorgeous 

I reckon the Mandrake would go first especially if you could get a picture from the film (the bit in the greenhouse) in the auction, like Luluhime did with hers

Wow !!!   Great work, Kelly !

How did you make them. I'd love to try. What did you use. Looks like model clay.

Me too but lets not push are luck

Wow, you did a beautiful job!  Why not put both of them on eBay at the same time?  Then you can mention both auctions in the description, and they'll show up under "seller's other auctions."  You could generate a bit more interest that way.

Thanks, guys!  I'm going to try to take some better photos of the Pixie.  I actually like him better than the mandrake, but he didn't show up too good in the photos.  I was going to put him in a jar but I made him just a tad too big.    

Mike- I used Sculpey clay and wire.  You can get the Sculpey clay at Micheals craft store and it comes in colors so you won't have to paint too much.  It won't dry out until you bake it. 

I'm afraid I don't know how to do an auction layout as good as Luluhime did.  I'll have to rely on the templates at Sparedollar and hope for the best.

Please post the auction links here when you get them up.  I am sure you may be getting some bids from us members!!!  Do you plan to make more?

Thanks, I'll have to try that.

Those are GREAT Kelly - well done!!
Haven't we got some talented people on here!!
I predict the bidding for them will be fast and furious especially as the release of the next book is imminent ~ good luck and PLEASE post the links for us so we can try our luck at winning them!!

[Anna]

WOW!   I love both of them Kelly   You've captured the shapes and facial expressions perfectly, you are soooo talented.

You did a nexcellent job  The Pixie really looks like the one from the movie and the Mandrake-WOW- Great job on both of them and good luck with your auctions

I'll probably see what the response is, then decide if I want to make any more.  They take a while to make and it's a bit tedious.  If the bids are more than a few I might think about doing some on commission, so we'll see!

[Nienna]

Wow, that's good Mike!
Take your time if you're going to make so many ... don't want to spoil them by rushing to get them done!
I hope your Mum has negotiated a fee for each of them for you, as you have to buy the materials to make them.

Kelly ... we'll ALL be interested to see how your auctions go!

[EmmasOneandOnly]

Yeah, five dollars a Frog box. My mom asked what they think its worth. Most people said twenty but my mom lowered it

[grecopa]

My mandrake auction is up and running.  I hope it does well!
