This handsome collie has been created with homemade paper clay called Carton Pierre which is paper clay with added strengthening ingredients and is designed to hang from a screw in the wall (see the back of the sculpture for the keyhole fixing). I like to give all my sculptures names and this tri coloured collie is called Darcy.

How it is made:
Paper clay takes at least a week to dry out thoroughly but once it is dry I seal the sculpture with button polish and then get to my favourite bit.... the painting! Once I'm happy with the painting a name is added and the whole piece is sealed with French Polish and for the finishing touches gloss is applied to the eyes and nose. The party hat is a mixed media creation covered with gold leaf flakes and red glitter.

Take care with this artwork, think of it being as delicate as china only a bit lighter and when you put it on the wall over the screw be sure to gently pull it down a little to lock it into place.

My little sculptures are unique decorations designed to add a touch of colour and interest and sometimes even humour to your decor.

I do occasionally do requests and commissions so if you're interested in a bespoke sculpture please do get in touch.

Not only could this lovely little one of a kind hound make a unique gift it could be the start or part of a wonderful art collection PLUS the shipping is free!
