Latxa Ewe and Lamb

When the lambs are very young, they stay close to their mother. Sometimes very close. This Laxta lamb has light brown head and body with creamy fur, and snuggles up to its mother, who has adult markings including a lovely gradient color in the face with long tan fur.

All my creatures are handcrafted in my Asheville, NC studio using porcelain, castable stone and imported woven fur from Steiff-Schulte in Germany.
