This is the first of my new series of personal projects
- something different, slightly unique (hopefully), and not involving gas mask.
Story behind it:
I have always liked those old oil portrait paintings in those huge mansion houses.
And I always thought that dog buster collar looks just like shakespeare's neck ruff.
I wanted to combine both ideas for a long long time, but put off with the props needed.
Luckily, a very nice lady made it for me recently.
Cheers Katy Cameron, you are the best!!
First time posing without mask, so please be gentle...

Love it Cole X
Excellent processing BTW.
Shakespeare with a little bit of Black Adder.
Impressive Cole - so creative. And I love the 'delivery'.
LOL - just brilliant.
Lucky is thinking "All my mates will call me lampshade-head"
Well done on getting POTW. Katy will be delighted. We heard all about the making of the ruff. Conversations like - Hey Dad/Mum you'll never guess what someone's asked me to make? Another was - Have you ANY idea how much work there is making one of these. There's 11m metres of cloth! Still, it's been fun.
Alan (Katy's Dad) 
Oh wow, just as I have lost faith in aristocrats and the dark chamber......
Cheers Pete for the double whammy... especially for my biennial POTW.
Cheers Adam for the UA, much appreciated.
And thanks to those who like this image and supported me/Lucky.
Best bank holiday Monday ever....
LOL @ Alan (Katy's dad). Sorry to have troubled your daughter. We didn't know how much work it involved!!!
And huge huge thank you to Katy for making this come true...
Congratulations on POTW Cole
This POTW, is it a Welsh thing then?
Well done mate.
