Got a sweet tooth craving? Never fear, Aviator Piggie to the rescue with a deliciously sweet caramel apple!

Opening April 3rd.

Both the Princess and the Piggie are available for sale at Rivet Gallery here.

ReplyDeleteI like the pig but I like the lady with the cobweb hair more. What do you make them from? I have to say the pig looks like toffee himself, looking completely edible minus the woolly hat and jumper.
