Back after so long.


Yes, it's been far too long. I'm absolutely awful at keeping up. Have noticed that there are a couple of followers. Thanks, although, is it just because I'm from Martock?
I have been a busy, busy bee. Many mice have left the premises. All my customers are happy, don't know whether that's got anything to do with Rex the Mouse. Let's just believe it is all to do with Rex.
It's Valentines Day, yippee or not. You can't please all the people all the time.
Have been making many romantic rodents for the 30 or so galleries and shops that stock my sculptures. Also trying to tempt a few more outlets to sell Rex the Mouse.
Made a fantastic chess set before Christmas for Touch of Glass in Yeovil. Cats v's Dogs with mice as the pawns. Most is made from recycled steel. It's in their window, looking great. WOW, managed to upload a photo. If you're passing, go and have a look. They have quite a few pieces of mine.
Hoping to be at Glastonbury again(will be the 3rd year in a row, near the Jazz Lounge) selling Rex and the rest. Last year was entertaining, luckily very little photographic evidence to go with it. Have to sell a few more mice to raise the required sums of money.
Here's a special Valentines image for you!
Looking forward to seeing some more knitted hexagons, if I have time , will try and look out for some blogs of interest! Cheers, Chris

Firstly you have followers because your work is great!
Martock isn't a coincidence, I work at Yandles!

Hi Loopy, how's work at Yandles going? I haven't been in for a while apart from picking up some oak cubes I ordered.
Glad you like my Rexes. I have a lot of fun making them.....not so good at selling them or myself. Just about to head to Glastonbury with a suitable range of sculptures to entertain the punters. Hopefully sell a few too. Cheers, Chris
