Creations by Wood Splitter Lee Cross

My family has followed Wood Splitter Lee Cross's work for years, and it never ceases to amaze us. Her work is incredible down to the last detail; she hand dyes her fur, builds every piece from scratch and creates posable stuffed creatures  out of the fantasy realm as well as realistic animals. She's the closest you're going to get to a pet griffin or phoenix!

Now scientists are studying what effect a nuclear war might have on the world’s oceans.
