Today I spent quite a bit of time making this little chap...
for Jen, who is making a book for her children to keep them busy spotting animals on car journeys or at the zoo.
This little chap is flying the flag for Scotland in the Star of Africa bee but he is to be found in quite a bit of Europe too - just not in much of England now and certainly not where we live in West Sussex. His American cousin is doing better down here instead and is a regular visitor to my garden.
Hope Jen's kids like him and get the chance to see him one day.
Have to say he turned out a bit fatter than I had intended but I think he is getting ready for winter and fattening up before his long sleep! Ahh ! Lucky him!

Great job and as always you captured the essence of the animal so well. Lots of red squirrels on the IoW as there are no greys there. Mind you, me and my car are responsible for reducing those numbers by one. Eeeeeek!

ReplyDeleteHe's such a cutie! Only his cousins here too, bully boys!
ReplyDeleteI love squirrels and yours is adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat squirrel but my dog wouldn't like him. She spends all her days at this time of year watching them running along the fence. If only she could catch one she might calm down.
ReplyDeleteOh clever you x
