Last weekend was spent on organising my girls birthday party, so I have only just finished the body and head of cow number two. the photo makes it look a bit weirder than it is.

This head is better than the 1st cows, although the pink nose needs fixing, and it needs a jaw. This time I put three round wooden beads in the body and they worked quite well. The belly needs to be fatter and rounder though. I'm not going to adds legs to any of my experiments on until I get the body shape right. 

I have noticed that most black and white cows seem to have a black rump, a black saddle and a black neck and head - with a white stripe on the nose, so I'm going for an interesting but typical patchy pattern.
