ART FANS ARE FLOCKING TO THIS EWE-NIQUE SHEEPISH DISPLAY

A former resident of Milton Keynes is involved in a rather ewe-nique charity sculpture trail currently being held in Bristol.

70 five-foot sculptures of Shaun the Sheep have been decorated and are on display all over the city.

The sheep have erm, flocked together for the art event, each having been designed and decorated by a celebrity, designer or well-known organisation. Participants include Laura Ashley, Bagpuss creator Peter Firmin and Red or Dead Designer Wayne Hemingway.

Sunny Warrington, 40, grew up in Milton Keynes and is now based in Greenwich, London where she works as a jeweler and designer.

Sunny's design is particularly sparkly, having been adorned with more than a 1000 Swarovski crystals.  It is a bee-rilliant piece that took almost a month to complete.

"I take inspiration from anything and everything," Sunny said, "I am a creative magpie - I love things that sparkle, with humour, with character, and preferably with crystals."

Speaking about her design, which she has called Bee-dazzled, Sunny explained: "As Shaun the Sheep is a good country-dweller, he knows that bees are essential to life on earth.

"Crystal, the Queen Bee, has landed on his nose, which is making him look cross-eyed at her.  The rest of her workers are swarming all over him, looking for a n-ewe home, and have dripped crystal honey on his fleece.

"They are causing a buzzing in his ears, but he's an absolute honey, and doesn't want to tell them to buzz off!"

When the trail comes to an end, the sculptures will be auctioned to raise money for Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children's Hospital charity.
