The Model
This model was a rescue Staffy (Staffordshire Bull Terrier). They are lovely dogs but sadly, lots seem to end up at animal shelters. He lived with a friend who was acting as a foster owner whilst he looked for his forever home. He was called Ernest, which seems appropriate.
The Pipe
The wood of the pipe was interesting to create. Mark’s grandfather smoked a pipe, so it brought back memories of him.
