Gulp...
I've been chugging away at submitting designs for various sculpture trails all over the country, and now the intital selection results are starting to come in. I've got one penguin design on the Dundee shortlist, and all THREE of my giraffes have been shortlisted for Worcester. Okay, this doesn't mean I'll definitely get any of them commissioned but I might...so when do I start panicking? LOL!!!!
I'm just in the middle of doing three more designs for robins for Nottingham's Hoodwinked trail, the deadline is on 30th January. The trouble is that five of the seven trails require the sculptures to be painted during the same time period - and not only that, but that time slot clashes with my May conventions, effectively cutting it by 2-3 weeks.
When I get back from my Mum's next week I really need to get my hare finished to clear the room for anything else I might end up with! I'm vacilating between worrying about having too many giant critters or that I'll end up with none at all and be massively disappointed.
Anyhow, here's a few in progress photos of my hare. Ignore the massive mess in the background (I usually do ha ha!).
Nose to nose we're about the same height but he has the advantage on me due to the ears. LOL
I think he looks like he'd quite like to fly away himself right now!
The river is going to run round the front, with lots of trees, I've got one more building to lay down the base colour for plus some smaller flying hares round the ears, then it'll be all adding the fine details and making it look less of a mess.

Maybe you should look around and see if there is a place you can use for storage if you end up having more than one animal at a time. Maybe a friend's spare room or even a small rented storage unit?
I love the way the hare seems to be looking out the window. :) The leaping hares painted on him are great!!!
How tall are the giraffes??? :)
