About Me

My photo
Based in Northampton, UK, I live with my husband Adam, our Cocker Spaniel Bruno and Deeley the Bengal cat. I work full time as a Creative Artist / 3D Designer and part-time with my creative endeavours. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my work and other random ramblings, from the satisfying successes to the catastrophic failures! Still, it's all good fun, which is kind of the whole point really...

Congratulations Jennifer B, Carla and Michelle MG-D!!!

Well done ladies, you have a Little One reserved for you!
.
JENNIFER B, your breymere email address doesn't work, please can you get in touch ASAP to claim your GREEN Little One!
.
Three more models to be offered soon, then two more after that and they're gone!
.
Thank you again to everyone who entered, I had an overwhelming response with over 30 entries to this offer.  I'm really sad I can't offer a copy to everyone who wants one, but keep watching as there is a rumour of a "Very Little One" in the works circulating... ;o)

Second Installment of Little Ones

Here we go, the second trio are now open to lottery entries:



Please do have a look at the photos in the Photobucket album, all bubbles, seams etc are highlighted in the photos.  The blue model in this blog's draw has a marble effect that some may like, some may not (it's still covered by my good resin guarantee :o)  Please note that the remaining pink model (to be sold later on) has an eartip missing, so if you want a pink one to display then this one is a better one to go for.  The ears can be ground down on the other pink model so if you prefer smaller ears then wait for that one.
.
To register your interest, please either:
  • Leave a comment on THIS blog (all entries are carried over from previous blog posts) OR
  • Drop me an email, OR
  • Contact me via my website here
  • REMEMBER - if you don't leave a way I can contact you, your contact won't count, so make sure you leave a user ID and forum so I can trace you, or your email address if you're emailing me privately or going through the Contact Us form.
Thank you to everyone who entered the last blog lottery, all your entries will be carried over, but please feel free to drop me a line again with a new preference if you have one.  Thank you too to everyone's lovely comments, it seems these "peeps" style models were well timed for Easter (unintentional, I promise).

Congratulations Lydia, Denise and Laura

Just a little post to let you all know that the people chosen in the Lottery have been emailed today.
.
I listed the names of everyone who entered, then asked a colleague to pick some random numbers to decide who got them.
.
Congratulations Lydia, Denise and Laura DT* and to everyone else who entered thank you so much and I'll be posting the next three models shortly!
.
The swirly purple/blue model has now been donated to a fundraising photo show being run by my good freind Beccy Fielding.  Beccy has three rescued Greyhounds and would like to show her support to the charity that rescues them; http://www.tiagreyhounds.org.uk/index.html.  Beccy's Photo Show is looking to be a rather special show with a large number of prizes including some really special models!  If you photo show, why not enter  for a chance to win, and help raise some money for charity at the same!  If you're interesting in entering, drop me an email and I'll forward it to Beccy (I don't like posting email addresses here, just in case), or if you know her drop her a line direct.
.
*Ladies, please check your inboxes for an email from me, if nothing comes drop me a line.

Finally, we have Little Ones!!!

Well, here they are, the final (unplanned) batch of Little Ones!  Shown in the photo below are all of the solid coloured copies I'll be offering on the blog.  Not pictured yet is the swirly blue/lilac decorator style copy, as I'm not sure if that will be offered on here or donated to a local cause.


If you look at the image above, the models are set out in rows showing which are available when, so the top row shows the three I'm offering today (blue/peachy/lemon), then the next row is the pink/green/blue, which will be offered in my next blog, then lemon/pink/lilac, and finally the other lilac (slightly more pink than the first) and the final peachy one.  I can't say when these blogs will be made, it depends completely on when I get a chance to blog, as I'm now working full time again.
Please note: my camera doesn't pick up the pink in the lilac/purple colours, so these are pinker than they show in the photo.  I've tried everything to fix this but you'll just have to trust me that the lilacs are actually lilac, and not blue.  The peachy colours are also more subdued than the phots show, however they are a bit more vibrant than peach (but they're not orange, hehe).


So, today I am offering this trio.  As with all late-mold casts, there are the inevitible air-bubbles, so I've taken detailed shots of each model, as some copies will need a couple of air-bubbles filling in.  None need any resculpting apart form the final two (and one pink one needs an ear-tip), which I will work on before they are released.  I would recommend looking at these photos before making your comment just so that you are clear of what you are aiming to buy.  The models are coloured using pigments so can be prepped and painted the same way as any "normal" white resin can.  All copies are covered by my good resin guarantee, details of this are on my website http://www.kelly-savage.com/
.
The pigment sits on the surface of the model, so where I have sanded these down it shows lighter, hence the lighter patches on the models' cheecks and forelegs.
.
I put all the photos of the models into a Photobucket album, and the following links take you to the first image of each of the models available.
.
.
As these models are in addition to the original edition of around 120 models, so I can't just sell them, I think this would be unfair to those that already have copies (especially as I'll be selling these at the original issue price of £30 / Euro40 / $50 plus postage).
SO...
If you would like a chance to buy one of the models I'm offering this time (ONLY the blue, peachy or yellow for this blog), then you need to leave a comment on this blog post, with a hint at which one you'd like, and some way to get in touch with you (DO NOT type out your email in case of spammers, but put your ID and the forum you're on, use your Google ID or your name if you've bought anything from me before, and details of what you bought, or if you're on MH$P I can get to you that way).
.
I'll give it a couple of days to allow all time-zones an equal chance, then I'll choose 3 people to have one of these Little ones each.  If I don't get enough comments, they'll eventually head on to MH$P and will sold on a first come first served basis, or will be donated to local shows and causes.
.
Please ONLY comment about the copies in THIS blog post, all the models in the top photo above will be sold in this way over the next few weeks so if you're after a lilac or pink for instance, be patient and they'll come up soon.  You can comment on as many blog posts as you'd like too, if you don't mind which colour you'd like.
.
All comments are moderated, so if there is a delay until you see your comment please be patient, if you can't comment for any reason or are not sure if I got your comment yet, drop me an email by either replying to this blog email (if you're subscribed) or via the contact me page on my website.
