Things have somewhat had to ramp up in the studio.

More commisons coming in to add to the list I already have. I am so thankful for all the lovely comments and people dedicating their hard earned money to buy a piece of my art.

Feeling blessed and thankful for this opportunity to create the art I love knowing that it is going somewhere where it will be cherished and loved just as much as I love creating them.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!. The universe is on my side at the moment thats for certain...

Much love
Arohanui

Have got 2 big commissions on the horizon. They will equally be both my hardest and challenging creations to date.

The almighty "kakapo" and a falcon...2 very big birds and will take a long time to create.

When I first started out on this journey I saw these 2 birds as the ultimate felting goal. I use to think to myself man if you could needle felt any one of those 2 birds and get it looking remotely similar you would be doing well.

So finally the universe has sent me the challenge.. and to be honest its a bit of a daunting challenge!! luckily for me I love a good challenge haha

so watch this space...

kingfisher commision completed and now with its proud owner. Its the third bird the client has purchased from me. Becoming quite a collection.

This is the 4th kingfisher ive done now and they dont get any easier. They have quite a peculiar shape and stance to them which is somewhat hard to replicate.

Now that im back in studio I will finish this bellbird watch this space.

back in the studio finally...Very s**t weather outside and finally got a chance to get back into what I love to do.

Started a new job 4 weeks ago and its taken a bit to adjust to and get energy levels under control.

so unfortunately just have t had time to make birds. Until now that is. Have this kingfisher commision I need to have finished by next week so going to spend the entire day today adding colour and getting the top coat finished.

Life can throw you curve balls alot and sometimes you just dont get enough time to work on the things you love and ate passionate about!!

so happy to be in the studio and stabbing a needle again.

will post up the finished kingfisher in next couple of days.

Also have this bellbird to finish so watch this space.

Happy customer picked up his Ruru this morning and has it proudly on display in his foyer. I loved making this ruru would be keen to make another one at some stage in near future.

Open to any commissions for the future. Currently finishing this Korimako and then have a another Fantail commison to complete that came is this morning.

But am always open to new commisons and ideas you may have.

I'm loving this space at the moment so my spare time is consumed by these creations. Doing this is therapeutic and good for my inner soul.....

have a great wednsday everyone.

All current manu (birds) now sold thank you for the support. Ruru (owl) gets picked up tommorow morning from a very excited customer. Here is the start of a new feathered friend. Korimako (bellbird)

Experimenting with polymer clay claws on this one still need to shape them and sand them down but all the foundation work is done.

So if anyone is wondering, this is how they all start off. It's essential to get this form and shape spot on before anything else goes on.

Otherwise the finished product never looks right. There are tricks you can achieve with the top coat layer of wools by manipulating their shape also.

But the formwork needs to have a great base shape similar to the bird you are trying to replicate.

Any kind of movement or pose you want the bird in needs to be done in this stage especially the head.
