Tracy to the rescue!

We had always planned to highlight the curls in his hair, but I got cold feet about it all and panicked horribly. Anyway, Tracy steadied me down when I was in Durham with her last week and here is the final result.

I am not at all sure that his mother would recognise him - but I rather like him (after all that grief).
I will be quite pleased to hand this piece in for assessment, he has hung around my house for far too long. Now it is just a case of finishing touches, mounting and handing in.
