Can you tell what it is yet?

On Friday we went to deliver these cushions to Craftco in Southwold. We had a great time at the 'Under the Pier' show too laughing hysterically at Tim Hunkin’s alternative slot machines.
Richard was extremely brave and tried to measure his courage at the TEST YOUR NERVE.

In Tim's words "Put your hand in the cage and hold the red button for as long as you dare. The dog starts panting and the dial starts revolving. When its about half way round the dog starts dribbling saliva (warm foamy water) on your hand. If you hang on, the dog finally barks loudly.
I made the dog for something completely different and had him in the workshop at the time when there was a series of scares about rotweilllers biting people. I tried him out in the local craft shop but he was banned after a few weeks because he brought in the wrong sort of customer, and people often leapt back, knocking over pots and doing other damage."
Go and check these brilliant automatons here... I think Tim is a genius, making money out of art instantly. In my next incarnation I'm coming back as an automaton maker. Maybe some sort of soft furnishings slot machine!!!
Maybe the leaning tower-o-cushions.
