This commission was such a special honour! This set contains the teeth of a beloved cat that passed away.
I will never take for granted when people choose me to create meaningful art for them and I am so humbled and thankful to be trusted with creating such a precious memento. 💜

Pogona vitticeps, the central (or inland) bearded dragon, is a species of agamid lizard occurring in a wide range of arid to semiarid regions of Australia. This species is very popularly kept as a pet and exhibited in zoos.
Family: Agamidae
Genus: Pogona
This dragon is native to the semiarid woodland, arid woodland, and rocky desert regions of Central Australia. They are skilled climbers, and often spend just as much time perching on tree limbs, fence posts, and in bushes as they do on the ground. They spend the morning and early evening sunning themselves on exposed branches or rocks, and retreat to shady areas or underground burrows during the hottest parts of the afternoon.
Winston (6yo) jokingly punched himself in the mouth, which knocked out a loose tooth, which he then swallowed in surprise. I thought it was important that you know about this.

On the right, The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta, showing an absurdly muscular tiger baring its fangs while it approaches a scantily-clad man with a sword defending an equally scantily clad woman, both wearing typical 70s fantasy armour. The black backdrop shows a fantasy fortress with a curved bridge over a body of water and a sky with several colourful moons. The background shows the beech-coloured laminate floor.
