(Note: This is a repaint of 'Potbellied Mouse Faery.') This little guy was inspired by the work of Brian Froud. His face is a little dog-like (I mean the fae, not the Froud), but his hands and feet are decidedly mousey. Is he coming to tickle you, or to slay you with his mighty feather?

Polymer clay, acrylic paint, feather from an unsuspecting bird. 6 1/2'' tall. Wings are fabric and translucent Sculpey.

Oooh. . .It's shinier than the last one! I like shininess! . . .Eh hem. . .As I said on the original, it's cute, it's detailed, I adore the wings, all that jazz! And I like how he's holding a feather! Makes him even cuter! Somehow. . .

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thanks Meep! Wow, you're all over my gallery. 2 He thinks the feather makes him look more threatening, so the whole "cute" thing will be our little secret, and we'll laugh about it when he's not around. ^__^"

I'm surprised it's not a mod's choice... I bet it was going to be but the moderator must have died from being tickled to death hehe... He looks so alive and courageous! He must be a better version of Hercules or what not, hehe. He is an angelic looking fellow, this one. I also want to curl his tail around my pinky... It looks soft ...! Indeed he has a very dog like face, too. You did a magnificent job.

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thanks very much! He's my favorite. Actually he did get a mod's choice, before I repainted him (see "Potbellied Mouse Faery"). I'm glad you like him!"

Absolutely love it. I wouldn't mind having him on my shoulder everyday.

1 Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you! Although, a few days of having your ear constantly tickled might change your mind. hehe"

I think he is cute, i would like as a pet because of his sweet little face. how do you think of these ideas?
you're amazing, and so is he.

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thanks! He WOULD be an interesting pet, but don't tell him that... he'll probably assume it's the other way 'round! (They're very independent creatures.) I was inspired for this particular idea by a Brian Froud painting. Thanks for commenting!"
