Once upon a time a fine little
fellow of certain good character was lovingly handcrafted from quality fibres
and fashioned into a small bear. Introducing
Flax Oakenbear, gallant defender of his little corner and occasionally found
frolicking among the clumps of moss in shaded woodland.
He requires very little
in the way of space measuring a mere three and a half centimetres seated and
just over two centimetres wide at the hips, a niche really would be ample. His
paws and facial details are hand embroidered and managing a meagre two grams on
the scales Flax is decidedly a flyweight.
To
give context to the finished piece I experiment with props to develop a story-line that surrounds this little character.
Behind the scenes and I
have chosen a woodland based theme, no doubt reminiscent to some of Tolkien’s
Hobbity creations although this is quite unintentional.
As well as capturing the
best possible image I like to include universal props that aid with the
perspective of the character and inform the and overall perception of the scene.
With miniatures size accuracy is
paramount when the only available interaction with the bear is through a screen.
The acorn helmet is the
final flourish and adds a dash of nobility I think.
The final shot.
Until next time.
