Custom Fox Bank
« on: October 08, 2013, 05:58:31 pm »
A customer wanted me to make her a Fox shaped bank.  Her 7 yr old son is named Fox and she is giving this to her son for Christmas.  The bank is 15 inches long and 11 high and 4 wide.  The coloration is water based Acrylic paint and top coated with shellac

Dan yes the pattern is mine... I found a silhouette of a sitting fox and modified it a little.  The basic construction is that of the Piggy or Snail banks.  The painting was actually for me the hardest part as I have very little practice with it.

I think you have outdone yourself this time, this one's the best of all the "Banks" you have made.  He will love it.
