Micro Minis!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving (or for those who don't feel the need to spend a day stuffing themselves with turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and pie and..., a nice week)! Mine was full of family and friends and food, and so was today. Good times.

I don't know that I posted about them here, but the micro minis that I sculpt are currently available through my website at http://maggiebennett.com/micropage.htm . They're all in stock now and ship usually within a day or two, so they can generally make it to locations in the USA within a week or so. That means that if you're looking for some reasonably priced artist's resins (even though they're pewter I do consider them ARs) for gifts or for yourself please consider them--they look great painted or in their unpainted pewter state! And there are some fun new-ish sculpts up there.

I've been working on a project that involves slightly larger than micro mini scale horses--these guys are closer to 2" instead of the 1-1.5" of the micros. And I really like the scale--it's enough bigger to fit in lots more detail, but small enough to still be pretty affordable and to cast in pewter. The finished pieces are a blast to paint and have a wonderful weight to them. So I'm planning to sculpt a few to be released when I finish them. I hope to paint a small run of them as well, possibly as a pseudo-OF edition. I just have to find some time to work on them in between the other work I'm doing!
