Sleeping Beauty... progress

Ok, so it's been a while since I last made a post. I have been a bit under the weather lately... but there's really no excuse for not posting about minis!
Earlier this year I got my hands on Sleeping Beauty by Reaper. It's a really lovely mini and very solid too (so no throwing when angry). However it doesn't come with a base but that leaves more room for creativity!
Anyways, I just thought I'd share my progress with you. I've decided that the sheet covering her is to be sheer and white in colour. This may seem a bit boring but I'm thinking I'll paint the roses a bright crimson to really make the mini 'pop'. I still have a lot to do: face, hair, stone bed, vines and roses... and a base. You can see my progress in the pics below.

Celebrating the arrival of new minis...!

Squeeeeee! New minis have arrived! I just received a box full of minis from Wyrd. I ordered a whole bunch of their special editions that were only available on the Gen Con weekend. I also ordered the Collodi box set. I got a free mini (Miss Demeanor) with the order for spending too much... tee hee. Can't wait to start painting them (not looking forward to assemblage though).

A week or so ago I also received a rather large order from Cool Mini or Not. So many minis, so little time. I'm really not sure where to start.

Here's some of the stuff I ordered (excuse the pic quality):
