Description Statue is originally a piece that was done by Living Stone called "Scout the Wolf" which you can see a photo of the before/after here: cloudstar-wolf.deviantart.com/…
I gave her a facelift
I really wanted to make her have a story. I played some off of the original name- gave her scars from encounters in the woods ( she's likely had that earring ripped out several times before, which is why there's two bits taken out of her ear but she's got some attachment to the earring and is pretty stubborn. ) Since she's running around, as the fore-guard of a sort- I gave her a pretty significant way to carry all the things that you might need in the woods when you're needing thumbs instead of paws (Like a GPS, or a camera to take pictures of that illegal logging operation....) , and hey, a set of clothes and a firestarting kit is nice too!
Seriously, pockets.
Really the story can be up to you!


The scars are dremel'd into the statue, the earring is attached by shallowly drilled divets ( can be removed, but wouldn't suggest it!)
The clothing IS removable if you are careful, the scenery is not and is attached by various glues. The bags on the harness can open and close, so you could possible place little treasures inside if you wanted to and are attached to the harness by using wooden bead buttons.
The harness is elk hide scraps that I had from other projects that were way too small to use for anything- and the fur fluffy on the harness at the chest is scraps from another project.
More pictures of details upon request!

I love this idea, taking those hokey sculptures you find at gas stations and repurposing them as something unique and nifty

Gorgeous work! I'd say you were super successful; she certainly has some character now! (: I especially love the modifications to the base. Reminds me of work by some of my favourite taxidermists. That snow is super convincing!

Ah! Thank you!
My grandfather had a huge model train set in his old house- which is where I got the idea for some of the base, just didn't know how to implement it at first!
( I am so happy with the snow! especially how it was able to 'frost' the grass tufts!!! )
