  Hi Abbie,
  
  Thanks so much for contacting me through my site. OMG! I would LOOOOOVE to make you an Owen Francis just like the one I did recently, he was one of my very favourites. Such a beautiful baby! The sculpt details were phenomenal. 😀 I tried emailing you but there was a bounceback. Email me at customreborn@gmail.com and I’ll shoot off an email to you about the details on how to proceed on him! 🙂
