The past two years I created the little collectable bronze at my dining room table rather than in my studio - just because clay and sawdust don't get along too well together. Usually I would spend an hour each morning before the sun came up drinking tea and working on the little bugger during the whole month of January. I am grateful for the "studio" time at home the past two weeks but have skipped the early mornings to wait for sunny moments to soak up the bright beams by my dining room window.
