Mixture of turned wood ( not sure what possibly sycamore and something else) and copper.

C&C welcome

I like the quirkiness. Only thing I am not sure of is what looks like a button and that I because I have an aversion to all the things being made by other crafts at the moment where buttons get stuck/sewn on as decoration.

I confess it is a button which just seemed to work for this piece, but I do agree they are a bit over used at the moment.

Paul,

Some (too many) years ago, there was a TV programme about that the worlds animals would be like in 'umpteen million years. Your little creature reminds me of one of them.

Now I like the buttons (eyes), not so sure about the one where the tail is though!
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

Paul, you're for sure coming up with some interesting designs ... me thinks you've come up with the rarely seen Haggis.
