Final Details and extra mementos

The final details are being added to the Life Sized

Sculpture of Ruswarp...

and by popular request the Sculptress JOEL has also been asked to make a mini Bronze of the Ruswarp Sculpture, and a tiny pewter Trinket as a memento of the Dog and the Success story of the guarding and saving of The Settle to Carlisle Railway Line

The 5 pence piece gives an idea of the scale of the new sculptures...and the outline of the trinket...more details coming soon!
