Sneak Peek at the New Website!!

My web designer has been working hard to get my new site up and running, which will feature a web store!!! No more backbreaking ebay fees!!! Yaaaayyy! So here is a sneak peek at the site in progress from about 2 weeks ago; since these pics were sent to me there has been even more design work created. We hope to have the site up by... third week in November... maybe! Then it will be time to fill it up with scratch built goodies for the holiday shoppin'.

Howdy to All!

A few weeks ago I created a new Facebook page for Valley of Isk Miniatures.

I have been teaching a class at the Community School of Music and Arts on "Making Scenes in Miniature", and am posting pics of the student projects as we progress. The class runs through mid November.

In other news, I have a web designer creating the new site for Valley of Isk, which is set to launch before the end of October, and will feature a web-store with scratch built items available. This will be a great expansion of my little business, and allow me to close the Ebay store (which takes a BIG bite out of one's profits).

I have had quite a bit on my schedule lately and have been unable to get in to the workshop, but hope to be back on track sometime later this week, with some pics of works in progress, so stay tuned and I will see y'all soon!

Valley of Isk Miniatures: New Ebay Store

I am starting phase one of a long term plan to expand my scenic business: an Ebay store. Phase one will consist of scratch built items, many of which are coming from my personal collection. Phase two will introduce a standardized catalog of pieces, and will begin to incorporate some cast bits in resin and plaster. Phase three will be the unveiling of a product line of cast scenic items for a variety of genres.

Here is the url for the Valley of Isk ebay Store:

En Route

Travellers en route to Ravenswood.

Many exciting projects are underway and many new transitions have come in to my life.

I'll be focusing intently on my comission work and other endeavors (i.e., music, writing & film) for the road that lies ahead so a brief rest will be taken from posting to the Valley of Isk. I plan to begin updates again starting in July or perhaps August, and in the meantime I'll continue to document all of the works in progress as I go.

See you all soon!

The Chasm: Complete set with the Deep Woods

Here are a few pics demonstrating the modular aspect of he Chasm pieces, combined with some massive redwood trees from my Deep Woods project.

I threw down some Beastmen and Wood Elf models from my collection to give a sense of the scale of the pieces, which are probably some of the largest pieces I have made to date.
