Soft touch

This is Esperanza. The big softie with her is 'La La Sensory Lion'.

'La La Sensory Lion' is a metrosexual urban lion, soft on the outside with a hollow centre. He's a 'New Lion' and urban lionesses love him because he is gentle to the touch and so complex; so very many different tactile impressions to be gleaned from one well-formed but high-maintenance package.

That's true also for those funny hairless apes so prevalent in his urban landscape. Their young especially enjoy running their fingers over this Lion's hide. Embrace him yourself and experience the several sensual stimulations conferred by the divers tactual textile textures enveloping him.

Tangible lion
On the road to awareness
Tempting to touch too

Esperanza is a writer friend who also knows how to awaken emotional responses in the young; she has just published her first book for young children entitled 'The Little Tree That Didn't Know'.

'La La Sensory Lion' was created by the artists Elena and the Three Ways School. He can be found on your way into Bath Central Library, in the Forum.
