My Niece named it Peaky Blinders a while ago, so I made it darker than the original to suit the title, but I like it and I already have a buyer. Onwards and upwards, I have a commission to do, of a snake, so that’s next, although the last snake I attempted, well, it wasn’t good. I think and hope I’ve progressed since then.
