It started with a monkey

So, my favorite customer placed an order or a few small pieces and a monkey....I had made a small monkey for my neice a few weeks ago and mentioned it to said customer and tra la la laaaaaaaa here is my new creation....... A MONKEY!!! He is about 25cm tall (including tail) much larger than the pieces I normally make...and I love him!
The recipient is under strict instructions to not look here until her parcel arrives....so if you are reading this stop RIGHT NOW !!

Here is the monkey............

and these are the other items I made for the same customer...

and then i got to thinking......I want to make more so........here they all are!!!!

They are currently residing in my ebay shop and are awaiting new homes.......
