Today I received the completed sculpture of Clovis - isn't it lovely? It has been made by a talented artist named Felicity Lloyd-Coombs who is based in Arundel, Sussex. I saw her sculptures at a ceramic show held in The Maltings, Farnham, before Christmas and was so impressed that I wanted to own a piece of her work. I had to wait in a bit of a queue, but it was well worth it.
Ceramic Clovis stands on his own shelf in the living room, looking as if he is about to bounce away into full chase mode. Real Clovis is slumped at my feet waiting for his dinner, having charged around a few fields this afternoon in pursuit of butterflies and a scary hiking man!
He knows that there is no way I can get up from here without him noticing and thereby no way I can forget about feeding him.
If you would like to get in touch with Felicity about a commission, please e-mail me and I will forward on her e-mail address to you.
