Animals
Besides horses, Julip produce many animals in the Originals range that are also handpainted. My yard is teeming with them, as well as some other non-Julip ones, which you can see further down.
Julip Animals
Hound
My hound is called Herbert and was a present from my friend Annie. I added some more black patches to make him a little different.
Fox
My fox is called Roxy and I won her in the Christmas photography competition Julip ran in 2008.
Cat
This is Jerry, who I am painting to look like my real cat. He isn't finished yet, as you can see. Julip also produce a sitting cat, but I haven't got one of those yet.
Doves
The doves, that have not been made by Julip for a good few years, made a come back at the Live this year. I noticed them and kept quiet, but was stampeded when I told people about them the next day! I got the last pair, all the rest were sold as singles. I'm glad because I didn't want mine to be lonely.
Non Julip Animals
Cats
Blackjack
Blackjack was just a cheap plastic cat from a vending machine in France. He cost one euro and I don't know what make he is. If you look closely you can see he has one blue eye and one green.
Puff
Puff was also from a French vending machine, my friend bought him and then decided she didn't want him so gave him to me.
Yasmin
Another from the vending machine in France, Yasmin is a Siamese cat in a stretching pose.
Ginge
I bought Ginge from a dolls house shop long before I started collecting model horses. I used to spend all my pocket money on the little dogs and cats, but I have long since lost most of them.
Dogs
Murphy
Murphy is a Schliech dog but he fits in nicely on my yard. He is named after my school labrador.
Fetch
Fetch is a collie that I bought in a lovely little dolls house shop in Shaftesbury. Unfortunately, the shop has now closed. Fetch is only hollow plastic but I think he is great.
Charlie
Charlie was given to me by Laura and I think he is a Doll's House Emporium dog. I have him as a sprocker spaniel.
Guinea Pig
This tiny little guinea pig was made by Christine (forum name Elrenia Greenleaf) and she painted it in my colour choice. He is such a cute addition to my yard's menagerie.
Chickens
These little hens were a present from my friend Annie when she came to visit.
