Carvings in "Tiny Town" are, of course,
tiny! The thimble, used to show scale, is 1" tall. Some in this category are sculptures, and some are pins which I have included because they were especially detailed and to show how they too lend themselves to miniature displays. |
THE SMALLEST MOLE This tiny mole is 1 1/2" tall. The sweet little face of this carving is a design that's been much appreciated in his larger namesake, part of the Wind in the Willows set. I had forgotten ever making moles this small. I visited a collector friend in Coventry Ct. and spotted in her collection this little mole, dated 2000 and marked with a #1 on his foot. "How cute!" I thought, and decided to make more. They are fun to make. A little fish-line loop can be added to the top if you'd like to use it as an ornament. $21

FANCY LADY
PIN This is a pin, but as you can she is freestanding and can be a dear display piece. There are eleven fancy lady pins available. Some carry flowers, some hold baskets. Each dress is slightly different. Dress colors are mauve, pink, lavender and light green. Two mice in mauve dresses can be seen at the top of the New Since Sunapee 2007 section. I'd be happy to send you photos of all available so you may consider choosing your favorite. $24
