Russians coming soon....

The plan was just to draw something else. I thought a Russian doll might make a nice change but as usual my plans were foiled....

History in the frame....

Just sorting through the family photos and found a lovely pinchbeck frame with my great grandparents and some of their children - presumably they couldn't fit the other 7 in....
Anyway it inspired me to mess about with frames and add a few odd dogs.

Work in progress

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......
