Lucy

Our dog Lucy passed away suddenly earlier this year. She was a big part of our lives. She ran 5 miles the day before so it was quite unbelievable when 30 minutes after she collapsed in the morning - she was gone.

The vet was kind in telling us there was nothing we could have done. A ruptured mass perhaps, no way of knowing.

I took some time soon afterwards to create a 3d model of her likeness- 30 reference images of her from the years on my desktop- was heavy at times but never the less therapeutic.

I'm to the point where I've 3d printed three different sizes for 3 different materials- My way of moving on and digesting the change.

The gnome project is still very much alive — more on that soon.
