Custom-Feature: The Keeper of the Forest by Taylored Curiosities
‘The Keeper of the Forest, is a wise old beast, He wanders round the Earth, looking for a feast. He's always very hungry, he could eat a tasty horse, But the Morrow find him biscuits, it's what he craves, of course.'
Penny of Taylored Curiosities shares with us her latest custom, a companion piece for her "Keeper" submitted for the Dream in Plastic show, named "Keeper of the Forest".
"I have used a 4″ DIY Kidrobot Munny and combined sewing, my original resin toys, sculpting and up-cycling with painting and needle felting to create this one of a kind creature. The Morrow is hand sculpted and cast in a minty green colour and measures a tiny 2cm."
"The forest floor is needle felted with an artificial leaf adorned with a button, fixed in place. The Keepers face is hand sculpted and painted. The fungus is also hand sculpted and painted and there finished off with moss. A hand sewn nest is the perfect resting place for the Morrow when it's not off collecting biscuits for the Keeper.
And a second forest themed piece I have been working on is a custom 7.5" Dude that Dudebox asked me to do for their online store." ~shared Penny.
"This is the Morrow Treehouse. I have used the 7.5" Dude to create a functional treehouse for my tiny Morrow creatures. Hollowed out, I have needle felted a comfy floor that is surrounded with feathers and has two hand made nests set in, perfect for the Morrow. A working swing hangs in the middle. The Dude has been painted with hand detailing to give it a tree effect and is adorned with sculpted fungus, hand embroidered leaves and moss. Two Morrow are having fun playing in the treehouse. These measure just under 2cm and are hand cast from my original sculpt. The Dude is signed and dated underneath." ~added Penny.
