Little piglet


A little 1:12 scale piglet, hand carved wood, painted, then hair was applied.


The hair was a challenge because on pigs, it is quite thin, and I had to make it so the pink skin showed through, but still cover the glue from the section underneath- the previous "shingle".


But it's always fun to teach myself new things, learn and figure out new techniques  :)



Thanks for .looking---

    He's gorgeous Linda. I remember the first time I pet a pig, the farmer told me they suffer sun burn because of the thin fur and pink skin. I was surprised how it felt, but it was the sweetest thing. Stood for ages while I scratched it's chin 😀 love the expression on your creation

      Hi Pepper,
      Thanks! We had pigs at the farm and with Ohio winters I wondered more how they keep warm! I put lots of hay in the pen. In summer they wallowed in mud to keep cool--

    I love piglets,in any form,but in miniature they are adorable. May I ask what kind of wood you use to carve?
