Title: Simple custom Victorian Couples
Post by: skypurr on January 24, 2013, 21:52:06

As I mentioned in another thread,  I need to raise some money to buy some new items for Kirkbean Exhibition, so I have  been selling some spare things on ebay. 

I wanted to make up some Victorian couples to sell as I had some klickies that I had bought as spares to sell on, but decided I would like to colour co-ordinate them.

Here are the results: very simple, but I was pleased with them - especially the green and the yellow ones so I think I may recreate these for my own Victorian collection,

Sadly all these have bids on so will have to go  :(  But thought you might like to see them here, before they do.  :)

I really like these Elaine.  They look very classic and approachable.   ;)  I think the third couple is my favorite.  :love:

Oh, they're gorgeous, Elaine! I really love the blue and pink one, that's my favorite, I think. The green and brown one is a close second. Very well done!

Very nice work, Elaine.  The man with the bowler hat is very tempting!

They look great. It's too bad that you're selling them.

I think they would be a very profitable line to concentrate on, Elaine, having seen the result of the auction I was watching!

Very nice looking Victorians you made from random spare parts. One thing though that I do not quite understand is the desire to make couples match in colors. If a couple comes to our home or party and they match it is quite odd and peculiar. Must be a female thing  :P

I thought they might be more eye catching that way - and it worked - I got some very good prices for them  ;)

I've already bought a log cabin (just need another 5 or 6) and various other bits and pieces, unfortunately what I've bought will take up more space than what I've sold!  :lol:

these are fun. the third couple is the hippest of the bunch! as i'm not familiar with all of the preexisting patterns, are you repainting some of these at all?
