Resin Paste and Fiberglass Bulldog Head Castings

After removing these bulldog heads the real fun starts!

Now I've got to create bodies to fit these heads and resculpt facial and body details. To do this, I use several different durable materials that work really well outside.

Maggie the Miniature Dachshund Sculpture

We have had at least one Miniature Dachshund in our home for over the last 17 years. I've always enjoyed their company mainly because I think that they are so comical to watch. When our first dachshund 'Maggie' was alive I used her as my model for sculpting her in the classic Doxie sitting pose while resting in a small flower bed. The original sculpture was cast in bronze which I still have and still get a great amount of joy looking at.

I've recently decided to offer this sculpture as an open edition casting series. Each of these castings are fabricated from a rugged marble-filled resin which gives a very nice weight to the piece and the final finish is a high quality bronze powder metal coating that is polished to bring out the metal and then coated with a superior UV and rust inhibitor that will provide many years of protection if placed outdoors.

You may go to my Etsy shop for more info about this miniature dachshund sculpture.
