Here is a quick update on the wolves. I am still working on the layers, and have put in a lot more detail on the head of the first wolf.

A few years ago one of the cricket sponsors (a brewery) released these plastic dolls which passed comment when placed in front of the TV when the cricket was being televised. They were a big hit and became somewhat "collector" dolls. The two pictured are David Boone & Shane Warne and they are affectionately known as Boonie & Warnie dolls.Liz Macintyrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16667741652595047511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770482898835895076.post-50106848724177899572010-10-24T20:04:00.000-07:002010-10-24T20:04:38.373-07:00Pride and Joy - graphite<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeKt_yeytDn1mPGkiYkwWt0sCYO4iHjP51jnuJ01Tj0b4cCOF07gm7Ie789kcTB02YKjUIbINb8rKlVMfylafdM5BN-gdn0KSaJ1Bg8DtdzbnzcREmam7FPkfwcSamUZNvizgYH68hsK28/s1600/prideandjoyfinal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeKt_yeytDn1mPGkiYkwWt0sCYO4iHjP51jnuJ01Tj0b4cCOF07gm7Ie789kcTB02YKjUIbINb8rKlVMfylafdM5BN-gdn0KSaJ1Bg8DtdzbnzcREmam7FPkfwcSamUZNvizgYH68hsK28/s640/prideandjoyfinal.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>Here is my latest just finished.
