Had a lovely email from the customer who ordered this rosette hanger for her prize winning rat after we met him at Romsey Show!

"What can I say, in fact we are speechless (or squeakless in the cage) - what a fantastic, brilliant likeness of Gallifrey (even down to the silver hairs she prefers to keep quiet about!!) - Jessica and I absolutely love not just the painting but the whole concept."
