  3. Ooh, how wonderful is this? Love that you've got some of the body in here as well and the muzzle is exquisite with color, as is the ear.

    1. Yes Sherry I decided to give this one a form, not just the head- and it came out good! Not totally happy with the muzzle, but yeah, he is going to be in my next show :)

  4. Oh Arti - this is lovely. You captured such a sweet look in the Zebra's eye as well. As for the muzzle it looks very soft to me. Hope you are having a super day.
