It is now safe to share this little munchkin 😍.

This is Murran the Westie. Her ears didn't fully go up which resulted in the cutest little face ever 😍. I just love characteristics like this when creating my pieces, it's so much fun to create 🥰.

Bo Faux Murran was commissioned as a 60th birthday gift and I am so happy to report she was very well received, however the real Murran wasn't so keen 😆.

My time is now totally focused on planning, prepping and making my showcase pieces for the very fast approaching North East Open Studios, which runs from Saturday 12th-Sunday 20th September 😅.

Multitasking is an understatement at the moment. It's like musical workstations just now! 🤪. I have been going from one workspace to the next preparing all the base skulls for my Highland cows and getting the horns ready for painting. And while that's drying I waxed and mounted my beautiful piece of driftwood onto a piece of old oak whisky barrel lid which I also sanded and waxed. This is going to be the sculptural backdrop to a very exciting commission I am working on 😍. Once finished it will also be one of my showcase pieces for the open studio event. I am really excited! 😍.

I also picked out the specific colours for the creature I am making out of my leather scrap box. Can you tell what it's going to be? 😁

I have another Border Terrier for you tonight 😍.

This little monkey is called Angus and he'll be going off to his new home very soon. At least I have another few days to enjoy that little face before he goes. He can keep me sane while I work on my North East Open Studios showcases 🤪😅😆.

I really hope this grumpy little guy will help to raise lots of funds for Breast Cancer Now charity raffle.
And I don't mean Martin the Mechanic 😆

When Bo Faux taxidermy kindly donated this cheeky wee “ Grumpy Owl” we knew we had the perfect partner in the A&I Autos to show him off 🦉

Something a little different tonight.

Over the last few weeks (in-between making my most recent commissions) I have been making base skulls for my Highland Cow heads that I am making for this year's North East Open Studios which starts 5 weeks on Saturday!! 😬😅 12th-20th September.

If you don't know already I make all my own base skulls. I use cereal/pizza boxes to create a basic form (which is in keeping with my recycling principles) then I create a solid base by using plaster of Paris.

These two have been soaking up the recent sunny days and have been drying out beautifully. So I will be starting them very soon. Exciting stuff! 😍

The difference between these two moos and my others is scale and colour. They will be small in stature 😁. One will be ginger and the other the traditional black.

I will keep you updated 😍

I thought you might like to see this little animation I made showing the making of Burt the Border/Lakeland Terrier 🥰.

I just love seeing the piece coming to life 😍.
