Got tired of all the cats I’ve done lately so I wanted to try some different kind of animals. And rats seem like a good point to start.
They are both available on my eBay: http://www.ebay.com/usr/stevepanner
It’s been almost a year since I’ve made my last miniature fox so I’ve thought I should made some more. They are quite difficult animals to sculpt, so I probably won’t make more of them too soon.
These four miniature rabbits were made for this year’s Easter. I’ll probably stop making bunnies for a while, focus more on wildlife and farm animals.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted furred miniatures on the blog so here are some pictures of my recent work:
This video tutorial shows how to make a doll’s dog house from cardboard and other common materials using simple tools.
The plans used in the video are free and you can get them in PDF format here: miniature dog house plans.
Just print them in a 1:1 ratio if you want a dog house the same size you see in the video (fits a large dog in one inch scale). If you want a different size house scale the plans accordingly while printing.

Done two more rocking horses, one in white and one in gray. Both have leather tacking and mahogany rails.
The stick horse is made from a flawed horse that I only managed to save the head from. The mahogany stick is turned on the lathe.
They are all available on eBay!
Just finished another dollhouse rocking horse. This time it’s brown with a black mane and tail and also it has mahogany rails. It’s available for sale on eBay.
Been working on this dollhouse horse for quite a while. First I sculpted the body out of clay, then made a mold and cast a few copies, which I plan to finish into different colors and make a small series.
The tack is real leather and is glued onto the body. The rails are made by hand and are plum wood, since this is what I had available from a spring trimming of our orchard, a few years ago.
For the next miniature rocking horses I’ll try to vary the color of the body, the color of the mane and tail, the shape and materials used for harness and rails. This way each one will be one of a kind, even if they share the same body, just like real rocking horses.
It is available on eBay!
I started building my first dollhouse for my daughter so I had little time to work on the furred animals. The only two I managed to finish are these two guinea pigs:
They are both for sale on eBay.
A rabbit I made a few weeks ago, but I did not add it to the blog until today since I was away for a while. I also have two squirrels to add and a calico cat, that is currently for sale on my eBay.
