Autumn Hope It was a wondrous and crisp fall morning, the Lady Moray stood in the small clearing near one of the few trees that still had it's autumn foliage. She strummed her harp and her beautiful voice filled the air. Soon, the denizens of the forest were drawn in by the melody, a mother fox and her cubs made themselves comfortable and listened with rapt attention. A bluebird wheeled in the sky above and when she was finished alighted upon her outstretched hand. This was Fall, this was the glorious Autumn Hope! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finished this up the other day and shipped out to my Fall 2015 Exchange Partner - TiniestRhombus, she received it yesterday so I'm posting up my finished pictures here. The tree is scratch built using floral wire and then covered with Beesputty (oven baked polymer clay). The foxes are from the Dark Sword Miniatures Stephanie Law kickstarter, part of the Foxes pack at their store. Very fun project to have worked on! If you want to see more of the WIP, there are pics on my Artist page. Lady Moray, Bard - Reaper (SKU #60141) Harp (from Adventuring Accessories) - Reaper (SKU #02638) Foxes - Dark Sword Miniatures Fox Pack (SKU #DSM7618) Sculptor: Patrick Keith (for the foxes AND Lady Moray) Material: Metal Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated! Thank you for looking.

When Reaper released this miniature (Lady Moray), I was thrilled. She looks just like my very first D&D character, a bard named Valanth Mocnjay, who has a pet mockingbird. I bought the figure right away. I didn't like the long knife (short sword?) she was holding in her left hand, so I converted it to a lute I had in my bits box, which I thought more fitting. (Lute is from from Reaper's Adventuring Accessories pack SKU#02638) The stump and log are from Secret Weapons Miniatures. The snow is crushed glass (also from SWM). The wooden base was turned by hand by a friend of mine. He sells them for $5 each. (Send me a PM if you want his email address.) Any feedback would be appreciated, especially on the base. I haven't varnished anything yet, so I could easily make touchups. Update: see photos of base additions in later post.
