2022 Secret Sophie

[Pochi]

I am finally finished! I am going to take photos, carefully package everything and get it to the post office. It will be on its way across the ocean!

Received my care package today from @Eben! I received a couple of unique minis (I actually have one of the special Christmas minis, but I didn't get Mrs. Claus so this is perfect to compliment Christmas Eve!) and some great looking terrain tufts to play around with! And of course there are the two excellent pieces hand-painted! I love a good minotaur and this one does not disappoint! Once a protector of his Holstein herd, a malign illness swept over the field and killed almost all of his beautiful girls. Those immediately spared endured bodily transformations which many others did not survive. A few, Hendrick included, were spared after months of torture at which point the transformation was complete. Hendrick and the others now stood on two legs and had strange new forelegs which could grasp and bend in new ways! With the loss of his herd still still hanging heavily over his horns, Hendrick tested his new form to its limits and blood lay spilled in his terrorful wake. Thus began the era of the bovine - no longer would they be satisfied as simple 'cattle!'

Glad you like the Holstein look.

The ocean-themed mini has made it across the ocean!

 

Oh my word, this is a gorgeous mini, Pochi.  And you even threw in a wallaby(?) ornament and all sorts of exciting candy I've never heard of before!  Thank you so much!

I have been keeping an eagle eye on the tracking so knew it finally made it! Glad it looks like everything is intact.

 

The ornament is a cute critter called a quokka. They look like they are smiling and will chuck their babies at predators as a distraction so they can get away!

 

Since you said you didn't need minis but would like chocolate and sweets, I tried to cram as much as I could fit into the box and pick out things I was pretty sure weren't available in the states.

 

Belated Merry Christmas!

Ok!  I got my painting setup in our new house and got all my stuff unpacked.  I now have paint on pewter!

I should have picked a mini with a more heroic scale face!

Making progress - doing some NMM ...

 

BTW - I joined up this year knowing I was going to be moving in Dec/Jan, so wouldn't be able to start painting until Feb (I'm not just super late!).

So if you got a painter that wasn't going to start until Feb and you want to be surprised, don't look inside the spoiler tags!

Wow! Fantastic diorama!

[Pochi]

Aaaaaahhhh! My package arrived today! Thank you so much, @SGHawkins09!!!

 

After the dogs inspected the package and determined it was safe to open, I opened it! The first thing I saw was hot cocoa with unicorn marshamallows! There are stickers, and minis, a journal, a lanyard, M&Ms, a dice bag and dice. I just kept pulling things out of this box! There was a white box that I was sure had the painted mini so I saved it for last. Inside was a gorgeous little dark skinned dwarf woman with her iguana/lizard buddy. She wears robes in my favorite colors (like the dice in the dice bag) and her cloak is iridescent. She is beautiful!

 

I took pictures and realized I had already started munching M&M's. Everything is so thoughtful and I am so appreciative!

Is it too late for a summer exchange?

Not if you organize it yourself. 🙂
