not your friendly camel

We are used to seeing camels ridden by 'Wisemen from the East' on cards and in scenes during this time of the year.

I sure hope they were nicer than this one spotted in the V+A - amongst the displays from China.

It makes you wonder if they had regiments of fighting camels.

This isn't just a stop gap whilst I am being quiet...It is actually an inspiration for a fire creature. ;-) I often start with the mouth and see what it wants to become. This camel mouth is begging to be the mouth of a fire creature.
