Was fun making more Chris Mouse’s again this year!

A closeup of a desktop. An unfinished mini sculpture of a Pied-billed Grebe bird "swims" across a sheet of paper, which has drawings of waterlilies on it. In the background is an unpainted mini coati sculpture, paintbrush, and mug of paint water.

I was digging through old photos and found this WIP pic of a tiny Pied-billed Grebe sculpt. 🥰 I have him somewhere, I should post the finished version. Coati hanging out in the background. #birds
