Badgering about...

Hey guys,

IT'S ME AGAIN!!! I said I'd be back soon!

Do you know the story...The wind in the willows?..if you do YAY! If you don't...you'll know a little bit by the end of this (hopefully:))

Any who...the pens, pencils and utensils pot I made a lil while back I said came from the Doctor Banardo charity shop just round the corner from Nana's house. 
I can't remember whether I said that she also bought a wooden Badgery thingy as well as the pot.

Would you like to see it?..

Before...


We weren't sure what it was. Nana and I thought it was a guinea pig, Dad and Grandad thought it was a badger, Mum and Nan thought it was a Jurassic Hamster and Amy thought it was a tail-less mouse.
After a long time starring at it, we decided it was a Bager!  

As The Wind In The Willows' four main characters are...Ratty, Mole, Toad and Badger...I thought it would be a fun idea to make this lil guy the Bager...complete with specs in true Willows stylie.

After...



Onto the blank model, I added grunge paste to the textured areas (side of head & back) and dabbed paint with a sponge. The colours were...PaperArtsy Snowflake, Little Black Dress and Elephant.  
The spectacles and eyes came from the Tiptree Cheap Shop and onto the white areas and feet, I added a little shimmer with Dreamweaver metallic powder 'Moonstone'



Hope you like this and if you have any questions please ask and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Oh wow that's amazing! He's definitely a badger! You've really brought him to life!
(If he was a hamster you'd know by know as he would have escaped and wandered off under the cooker or some such ...)
