Excellent  :thumbsup:
I love 'em too but I'll need to do a few more farmers markets of my own before I can afford them  :'( ;)

Glad it went well for you  :excited:

WF those are amazing.  I thought the hens and ponies were real ones, until, having seen the pigs, I enlarged the photos.  They are just so lifelike.

So unusual but SO realistic. Some people are just too talented...makes me sick. (no jealous smiley)
How long does it take to make them?

My mum makes the animals, I do flowers and beaded willow for indoors
Hers take fom 3 hours (chicken) to several days (horse) and require several stages as need treating with linseed
Very labour intensive but so much fun and so rewarding!  :thumbsup:
Nothing better than creating something and someone liking it enough to buy it :)
