The Gangs of Maudeheim, Part II 02/09/21

That is a spectacular set Al, true kaleidoscopic excess.

Thanks, Rob. I am glad you like the gang. There will be two more Mushrooms it seems. I finished sculpting one yesterday & have another awaiting his face.

I had one Mushroom cap started & then I saw a Mushroom creation on Pinterest that I had to try. SO I now have two more Mushrooms that will fill out The Box:


This is the Pinterest Mushroom & my version:




AND the finished Mushroom cap with attached Mushroom:


That is a wrap for today.

Again some very characterful looking mushrooms! It always amazes me how you can add details that seem to distinguish them from the other mushrooms! Cool stuff!

aye, that 'new' look 'shroom has amazing character.

Thanks, Guys. I am glad you both like them...the morale boost is appreciated.

AND the two late coming Mushrooms are base coated:


You may be able to see the Lads better in colors other than green.

If someone asks me "do you know the Mushroom Man?", I know who to point out.
Great work as always!

Thanks, Gatlag. My erstwhile friend, Karen, tried to talk me out of making so many mushrooms twenty four or so years ago. I wasn't convinced. SO they have taken over my life...such as it is.

After much procrastinating, I mounted up the first base of Mushrooms yesterday:










I think there will be more individually based Mushrooms than I initially planned on.

and that's a cracker of an ensemble!

don't recall seeing the upended 'cup' ones before really ... looks like they're full of raspberry jam ... but I suspect it's something less wholesome?

They really look nice togheter on the base Deafnala

Thanks, Guys. I am happy you like them. The raspberry jam is a possibility.

AND yet another base is done:








There you go.

Very colourfull creation Deafnala! basing them makes them look even cooler!

Thanks, Tom! I am glad you like the Lads.

Another couple/trio of Mushrooms have escaped from The Box:










Seen here with the second base:


Have a pleasant evening!

...the only topic I don't get notifications from...
Again awesome update!
Since you also make great trees have you ever considered combining the two? By making a special type of shroom? We call it 'een elfenbankje' best translated as 'fairy bench' and looks like these:



They grow on the side of trees

Thanks for the reply, Gatlag. I am glad you like the new piece.
I have done shelf mushrooms for my Trees,but nothing quite as grand as that one. Having a personable Mushroom & Tree duo could be fun.

While searching the floor under my worktable for some errant piece, I found a Mushroom that had gone missing. Here he is all base coated:




AND seen here with the other Fellows who are yet to be painted:


More later...or not!

Despite a day trip to distant Fredricksburg for brunch, I managed to get The Mushroom Box Folks based & ready for final detailing. They & the rest of the stuff on the worktable will be getting some attention this weekend.






How much actually gets done is anyone's guess.

That's a really colourful bunch DN. I like the tall cap mushroom; I think you could do a whole base of those and it would look like a little 'shroom forest.

Thanks, Codsticker. I am glad you like them. The Mushroom Forest is something I will have to try.

I finished the last of the Mushroom Box Mushroom:


The Gang from The Box less one that was given away:


Closeup pic will follow...eventually.

The finished work looks amazing Deafnala
