Blue Cavern

I wonder why these smurfs are called sleepsmurf ( Schlafschlumpf) in german and sunbatherrs in english?
Does anyone know?

I don´t know, Lia!!! I only know that it is really dangerous to sleep while you are having sun...And it is my own experience. When you get up, you seem schlips smurf...

By the way, lovely set of smurfs!!!!!

I don't either but that's a lovely collection Lia!

They look like schlafende Sunbathers to me

I think so too!

If anyone has more info about the statue ( made of a sort of stone), I`d be very grateful.

I wish I was able to help you out on that one,but I'm afraid I can't.
Anyway you seem to have a wonderful collection, Lia. You know, for the time being as a collector (that is in my case 25+ years), I wasn't much into fakes, but the more I see, the more I want. :help: In fact, I have started grown on my Polish (?) smurfs, incl. a Smurfette with Gown which looks similar to the ones, you posted last time. You know my dad gave me them, when I was nine years old. I might take some pics over the weekend and so that I might get back to either you or the others to help me out on them.

Lia,
when I first saw the statue I thought it was made of bisque porcelain and home-made because it looks exactly like the sunbathers Stace made.

Here is a link showing how she made them

She also made me a cup with the sunbather..



I think with a bit of talent it would be fairly easy to make a sunbather on a sockel

Does it have any markings?

I like that mug too.

thanks for your reactions!

no Maureen, no markings, it seems to be made of a sort of plaster?
I doubt if I could make it
but I like those mugs!!
