It gives me so many wonderfull experiences to have "Doll of the month" on my website, so I want to share it with you.
First of all it is a great challenge and inspiration to make this figure every month and from the many reactions I get on it, I know that many people are waiting to see what is coming next month.
I have now made a figure every month (except one) for 2˝ years and I could not imagine, when I started to make it, how many unexpected experiences it would give me. One of them is, that I get so many good and unusual hours in the nature, when I take photos of the figures. Every month I want to find the perfect place for this special figure and as the figures are very different from each other, I come to places I might not have come to if I had not this purpose.
Last month I managed to make the photos of the little arctic fox on the very last day with snow - this winter in Denmark, and as we took the opportunity to go to a place, where people use to come to look at eagles, there were people, who saw a white fox that day too!!
The fox was sold immediately after it was laid on the website at twelwe o´clock in the evening and the day after I got a mail from a girl,who had seen it, and she told, that she had made an arctic fox like it from my book "Animal felt" and attached was a photo of a sweet little fox.
Last month, when I made an owl, I was lucky to be able to make photos on a day with sharp sun that made the branches show the most wonderfull colors.
The owl was sold to one of my most faithfull customers and when the owl was safe at her place -after the long journey from Denmark, she sent me a photo, so I could see it in its new surroundings. Now I about to start on the doll for next month but I can´t tell what it will be!!!
