Hen

Just a quick wee postie, critter this time, inbetween the apple-related posts: 

Rather pleased with this one. I've made a chicken before, but he turned out to be a rooster so this time I wanted to aim for a nice brown laying hen. I've also gone for a bit more patterning with the tools, as well as colourful feathers here and there. Not sure about her expression - ??? whats she thinking about?



chick-chick, chick-chick, chicken...

chickens are great! We really miss ours, and one primary requirement of our next home will be space to keep a few chickens again.

this one was the clever one....

and this one was the one my toddler-son could pick up and cuddle, repeatedly! Her name was Penelope, which became Pee-Pee in toddler speak. Not quite such a clever chicken, but very entertaining :-)

In the meantime, here is the FIMO one. Not varnished yet in this picture. No eggs unfortunately...
