Hi all,
I just finished a commission for a gorgeous dog named Sandy. This time I wanted to push it further into details. This one is a bigger breed so why not give it a moveable jaw and a full set of teeth. I had a blast sweating over each tiny little tooth... It was a challenge but I loved it. Its little tongue is very delicate and is made with... Drumroll... Gel nail polish. Yes it can do wonders and not just on my nails. I have recently indulged in the world of manicure using Sensationail and I use it every chance I get. I used it to paint the inside of the mouth, the nose and the teeth. Being gel that cures under uv light, no waiting time! I find it gives a wet shine that really gives the impression of realism. Also as a bonus, it solidifies the teeth... Anyways... This sculpture is almost entirely done with alpaca fibers with a little wool and silk. It has glass eyes and can be gently posed like all my other creations.
Here she is:
My dog was very intrigued by miniature Sandy... Mostly weirded out.
And here is the real Sandy.
Thank you for looking :D
See you next post!
