Not much in the events calendar for December, but there is still a little time to get down with the pups and festive up (?) your hound.
Win a 2011 Deerhound Calendar
Remember the fantastic 2011 Scottish Deerhound Calendars that Steve (Cicoch) got made up from all of our pictures? Well I bought an extra two and I'm offering them to the two winners of our Christmas Poetry (I use the term only loosly) Competition. I'll post them internationally to the winners of the best two poems as judged by me. Original work only and extra points for humor/literary genius. Please leave your poems in the forum here (click).

From Wire and Clay to Bronze on Granite
reflections by the Sculptress JOEL
“How long?” is a question I am often asked – how long does it take to make a sculpture?...and it is one I often cannot answer in detail – but the Celtic Hound was different as a project.
I was exhibiting in the Orangery at Blenheim Palace pre Christmas 2009, when the passionate owner of a Hound called Cassley saw my work and.... I saw an image of Cass on the mobile phone and by January the 1st we were already started..... for me this involved starting research on the web into the breed standard and images, pouring over images of Cassley and making up the armature from the measurements. For us a photo session of the lovely original, in beautiful weather Jan 9th, measurements and drooling (the artist doing the drooling - not the hound!).
