Months ago after I posted the first barbershop story, I went online looking for 1/6 scale barber clippers. I wasn't able to find any. It never dawned on me to make them. That is, until today. I was starting a book making project, and saw pictures of some barber accessories, whilst I was procrastinating. The first thing that caught my eye was the little brush. I felt I could make that. So I did. Pulled up pictures of some clippers and made Jason, the barber, a set of those, too. I didn't even move out of my chair. Everything I needed was right at hand on my messy, but efficient, new workstation.
They're not perfect, but they will be fine for my stories. I'll probably shine them up a bit with a coat of gloss. They are both made from polymer clay and the bristles are from a small paintbrush.
Just in case you missed the barbershop, here is a picture of Jason and Darius.
Needless to say that elusive book making project is still not done! I wonder what else I will create when I start making books again?
I like that pic. Your barber tools are so cute. I am surprised a few arent in your shop already! LOL
ReplyDeleteGrandmommy - Thanks. No plans to sell them. Maybe if I perfect them a litle more. I'm going to make some tv remotes next.
DeleteThe accessories look great! If I tried to pull that off my accesories would look like a 6 month old made it. LOL
ReplyDeleteSisilovessinging. - Thanks. I'm sure you would do a great job.
DeleteVery nice job Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteGeorgia Girl - Thanks. Really wish I would get to those books.
DeleteVery cute accessories that Jason will find absolutely essential. You do amazing things with polymer clay.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, spam seems to be the price of fame - I hope the verification process works for you.
Carrickters-Thanks. Jason was in desperate need of these. I got one crazy spammer. I have to go remove my email address from different places on the web. I hear that helps.
DeleteYour little hair clipper is amazing. Did you make it out of clay? You must see what Martha did with the newspapers and magazines from my blog. If you like you could do it as well.
ReplyDeleteDuke of Swan - Thanks. Yes I made it from clay. I'll check out your papers, but it could be months before I get around to printing them. Most of the time my stories are done so quickly and, I'm just grabbing things that are nearby. Thanks for the offer.
DeleteHello from Spain: great work. Hairdressing utensils men are very original. You are very creative. I like the photo in the barber shop ... Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMarta- Thanks. I hope to make a lot more little accessories.
DeleteLOL, isn't that the way? You start doing one thing and end up doing something else.
ReplyDeleteMuff - I should have just hired you to make me some books. They'd be done by now. But where's the joy in that? At least I get some nice things made in the meantime.
DeleteGreat to see that you can make such neat accessories with polymer clay! The Wizard of Oz play set (not related to the new movie) has a set of barber scissors in it. Years ago there was a bearded Ken whom you could "shave" by putting cold water on his face. He had a razor, and a shaving cup. Sorry you've been afflicted with spam.
ReplyDeletelimbe dolls - I remember Shaving Ken. I almost bought him about 4 yrs ago. He was $16.95 at TRU and I passed. I will have to take a look at the WOO barber scissors. If all else fails, I can use the pair that came with the LIV set. I will probably make a razor knife. I think the spam will go away soon. It's just one person selling juice.
DeleteYou are so creative. They look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteRoville - Thanks! Speaking of creative, I was looking at your website the other day. I have plans to get a pot of coffee going and just spend hours there one day soon.
DeleteHahaha, Procrastination gets everything else, except what you're trying to get done, done! XD
ReplyDeleteHeather - Yes, procrastination can be a blessing in disguise. LOL! I'm not complaining. Those books will get done one day.
DeleteGreat work ! the clipper and brush are perfect ! you have also made the electric wire and the plug. It's very realistic ! You have nimble fingers.
ReplyDeleteClaude - Thanks! The cord is made from sewing thread. It just happened to be sitting next to my computer and I was too lazy to get up and get something else. I guess I could have made battery operated clippers.
DeleteWow, looking great!!
ReplyDeleteDana - Thanks! Hope your new doll room is coming along nicely.
Deletei love them.they are so small and cute!i love the pic in the barber shop.
ReplyDeletejassica joe - Thanks. I like small and cute things too.
DeleteGreat scene. I love the poster on the wall.
ReplyDeleteMale Doll World - Thanks. I'm sure I've seen that poster in a real barber shop back in the day. LOL.
DeleteI don't remember seeing Darius' shoes last time. I like 'em!
ReplyDeleteKenya - Well he had them on. Those are the ones he changed to before leaving the house. You really have a shoe fetish, don't you? LOL!
DeleteGreat job with that clay! It proved to be a wonderful material to work with, they look perfect!
ReplyDeleteRossetti - Thanks! I don't know why I haven't made cute little accessories before now. Better late than never.
DeleteNeat accessories! It is fun to create your own stuff at times. They're unique - no one else will have that exact same set.
ReplyDeleteLucky Jason to have them to help him along in his business.
D7ana - Thanks. You are right. It's nice to SAVE some money and create some of the little things. I need to do it more often.
DeleteAccesories look really great! And they are handmade? Thats even more impressive! You're very talented!
ReplyDeletejewel snake - Thanks! Believe it or not, I think these books are going to finally get made.
DeleteGood idea for a shaving brush! I think some gloss will look great too.
DeleteI have the Shaving Fun Ken - his "beard" isn't really working, but the bowl and the little towel are cute.
Anderson's - Thanks. Yes giving it a little shine will make it look better. I remember that bowl. It is really cute.
DeleteThose look good
ReplyDeleteMustiwait - Thanks. Let's see what other cool things I can make.
DeleteI love so much your picture. Darius gonna have a new look.
ReplyDeleteShasarignis - Thanks. Darius will still look good when it's over.
DeleteThe brush and clippers are very authentic looking. I just love creating things from stuff on hand. Great job.

DBG - I am inspired to create a lot more little things with clay. I have a whole list of accessories I want to make. Let's see how long it takes me. I did get a few books made this morning. Yay!
