Limited Edition: 75 signed and numbered figurines. Hand carved, hand cast in
solid foundry bronze, hand painted in oils. As a kid growing up I always remembered the myth and legend of the mysterious piper who helped the
town of Hamelin. For those who don't know the story a synopsis follows: In 1284
while the town of Hamelin, Germany was suffering from a rat infestation a man in
pied clothing appeared claiming to be a rat catcher. He promised the mayor a
solution for their problem with the rats. The mayor in turn promised to pay him
for the removal of the rats. The man accepted and played a musical pipe to lure
the rats with a song into the Weser River where all but one drowned. In the
miniature version the Pied Piper is seen leading six rats out of the town. One
sits on top of the sign pointing the way to Hamelin. This is painted in my favorite technique of all glazes.
I just released a new miniature bronze
figurine that is a small Woodland Cottage, issue price $125.00. This piece is
only a ½ of an inch tall and has cut out windows and door. I wanted a see
through effect. The back of the cottage is open and will accommodate two insert
sculptures, A & B, $40.00 each. Below you will find a variety of pictures
and videos showing the work in greater detail.
Also I am offering two new micro sculptures that are ¼ inch
tall. One of a snowman and other a black cat on a pumpkin. These really small
pieces are always in high demand because they work in the popular ¼ scale world
of collecting. Plus, some collectors prefer this really small size for their
collections.
The casting failure rate of the cottage inserts and micros
is something like 70%. So I have to try casting them again in a couple of
months. If interested, place your order with your dealer so I know how many to
try and make.
I just released "Best Friends" a new miniature figurine. This bronze-cast and hand-painted miniature collectible stands at 7/8ths of an inch. The piece is based on a old figurine my parents found in an antique shop many years ago. I always liked the interaction between the boy and the dog. Reminds me of some of the Lee pieces I made years ago.
Here is a picture of the original full sized piece. I am not sure who the original artist is because I can't read the name on the base. The piece is cast in resin and probably made in the 70's.
Original - 8" Tall
Now here is my miniature bronze version that is under one inch in height.
"Best Friends" - Miniature - 7/8" Tall
I think it is fun to see the two pictures together. I made some changes in my version but basically followed the idea. I came up with my own coloration as the original was very subtle and almost has no color.
Best Friends was made in an edition of 75 pieces and is now retired. Available at your Zadar Miniatures Dealer. Issue price is $95.00. Signed and numbered on the bottom. Thanks for looking.
