These hand sculpted clay figurines make great cake toppers (and last a lot longer than fondant icing!) as well as wonderful memorials of beloved pets that are no longer with you.

This listing is for one custom hand made figurine based on photos of your companion animal. Please note that unlike pet portraits which I also offer, the likeness in 3D form will capture your animal's quirks and personality in a more whimsical style rather than being an exact realistic representation. That said, the better the quality of photo I can work from the more of your pet's essence I will be able to capture. If the animal has passed on and you don't have brilliant photos, it may still be possible to create a figurine based on what photos you do have but please bear in mind it will be more of a generic breed rather than entirely based on your own animal.

I use Sculpey professional polymer clay over aluminium wire and foil armatures. Once the animal has been sculpted and the clay baked I paint the details (including the eyes) using acrylic paint. It's difficult to give an exact size but it will be approximately 4 inches either in height or length depending on the pose of the animal (sitting or lying).

Please note that these are delicate, fragile 3D art works and aren't intended to be used as toys for children.

Postage within the UK is free and will be by International tracked elsewhere.
