Just waiting for the varnish.......

Three little dogs waiting for the finishing touches. They add a somewhat unnerving presence in my kitchen. I feel strangely under scrutiny despite the fact that they are made of chicken wire and paper..........

Paper Bullies...

Three damp bull terriers of the paper variety seeking warmth by my boiler.......

Happy Easter!

Chocolate bunnies all round! 
Next year must go to Lubeck (the world's Marzipan capital)and organize manufacture of marzipan filled chocolate bullies..........

Just drying off.......

 So cold here there is nothing else for it!

Something to smile about..

Measuring up to Spring fashion......
I'm not finished but my collar is "Pret a porter" as they say in Paris.

A sweet dog for Christmas.....

Marzipan terriers all round!

Production line hiccough...

"I think our mum might be a Staffie!"

or like this?

meanwhile at the gallery.......

Contemporary art? - or should I sit on it........

Fresh today!

Here's one I made earlier.......

Relaxing in the fine Spring weather...

Yes, even papier maché bull terriers do it!

Production Line....

Here they come! The new run of papier maché bullies is on its way.
Strangely, they seem to develop a life of their own before they are even finished and interact well with each other as you can see.
Just the detailing to finish plus the all important sartorial decisions about collars or scarves......

Coming Soon......

Just sitting on the boiler and drying off! Just a few more coats and we're ready for off....

My flagship bullie!

 I have loved making this! Now that he's done, we exchange glances now and then in a most companionable way........

the nightmare continues......

 Not only have they got quite a bit bigger - they seem just a little too ccomfortable!

Camouflage....

A study in blue and white!

A study in blue and white.....

Do you think it's Delft?

Waiting for more glue......

It's a tiresome business hanging round waiting for little bits of detail - some eyes would be nice.....

Ghostly intimations......

A more convenient size bull terrier......

Lightweight and manageable - no more pulling!
