Has it really taken this long?

This is the laughing wolf jester completed. *whew!* I don't think I've ever taken quite so long to finish a custom piece for anyone. I created the otter jester for this woman and it was completed within a couple of weeks I believe once we got the details hammered out. But if you look at the previous post, this wolf has been hanging in there for at least a couple of months now. I felt really bad continually putting it aside but I felt that I would be forcing something I didn't feel if I completed it sooner. Not that I was intentionally waiting this long! I simply wanted it to feel right. And finally, he did. I hope she loves him.
