milk white doe

The story entitled "Lady Sybil and the Milk-white Doe" from some wild moorland near Burnley makes me all happy to be working on this project. I never knew that occasionally fallow deer can be white. Can there be anything more magical than this? no wonder it inspired folk tales!

Ignore then the green wax; the plan is to cast it in bronze and give it a milkwhite patina. Then see if I can make it leap inside the diorama! This is the 3rd of 3 small wax deer, and the only one I am happy with. It's something to do with the wax - which has kept it's soft appearance - the proportions and the very lightness of the pose.
