Frances thanks Mama Bear's Day Nursery for sponsoring her gorilla, and Burges Salmon who bought him at The Auction on 29 September 2011 for £6 500. I think he has gone to a good home!

Rounding up the animals

Matching the animal positions on Bert to the ceramic version of Endangered PJs

Feet of Clay

Original design -  Endangered PJs
A few of the Bristol WOW! Gorillas are being reproduced as ceramic models.  The first sample of the ceramic of mine had interpreted the collar incorrectly, unsurprisingly since the shoulder hides the collar in my submitted design.  Also the animals were a bit rigidly placed.  I wanted them a bit more wonky.  The second sample was much better.  

I need to make my big gorilla match the ceramic, as far as possible.  Bert (aka Endangered PJs) has much longer forearms than the ceramic version, so has a few more animals on his arms.
