Original Sculptures

Young Golden Tabby TigerHere's one of my recent sculptures made in August 2014. She's sculpted with super sculpey firm, like most of my sculptures these days. Her scale is approximately 1:22.
A tiger is not a very unfamiliar animal specie, but the colour I painted her is. It's called a "Golden Tabby Tiger", "Strawberry Tiger" or just "Golden Tiger". The colouration is rather rare and has never been spotted in the wild, only in zoos. Only a few is know about the colour. Both parents of the tiger needs to carry the gene in order to produce golden offspring. However most zoos don't know their tigers are caring the gene, so they're born as a surprise. I liked to add this special colour to my collection and sculpting this little critter was heaps of fun. |
Falabella FoalThis small fellow was my first baked sculpture sculpted with super sculpey firm. His main goal was to try out whenever my oven baked the clay correctly. And it did. The reason I chose to sculpt a falabella was that it needed to be small and I wanted to practice my horse sculpting skills. Bedside that, falabella foals are just cute... aren't they?
Despite of it being a try-out I'm very proud of his sculpt. The only thing that needs to be done is his painting. |

Guinea PigThis tiny little fellow was made early 2013. It was actually made of a piece of clay that was left over of some other custom. While holding it in my hands, trying to give it and animal like shape, I came to the conclusion I could make a guinea pig out of. Though I'm not particularly found of these creatures, I like the way it turned out. It's probably the smallest sculpture I've ever done and even though it was a struggle to make, it was fun to do!

Appaloosa foal
On the right you see my first horse sculpture I'm happy with. It was my second 'real' try to create a horse out of nothing but clay, now I came to think about it, my first try was an appaloosa too. Anyway, this little foal was a gift for a friend. The scale of the foal is approximately 1:20 I think, sculpted with DAS clay and painted in acrylics. Just as the one above, this sculpture was made early 2013 |

Harbor Seal
The figure on the left was my first seal sculpting attempt. It was a kind of use full I didn't have to sculpt the whole body, but that wasn't the main reason for me to sculpt it this way (and still, the tail is the hardest part to sculpt). I was inspired some time ago (maybe a few years ago) when a friend of mine got back from a holiday to Scotland, and showed me a small Nessie souvenir. It consisted of a few parts; the head, two or three 'U' shaped body parts and a tail. When you placed those parts one after another on the table, it gave the illusion that Nessie was swimming on the table. I liked the idea so much It stayed with me the whole time until I finally used it in my artwork. The tail of the seal can be placed behind the head, that way he's swimming in his belly, or in front of him what makes him swim in his back.

Some CanidsThe fallowing slideshow shows some of my earlier works, among them is my first sculpture I made in scale (1:22): the brown Gray wolf. Even though she has some flaws, I'm still quite proud of her. I've always loved wolfs, not just their appearance but also their pack system; the roles different pack members have, the way of hunting, I think that's quite interesting. So it isn't strange my first sculpture was a wolf. Naturally, I also love sled dogs, as they are closely related to wolfs and also because they are build to withstand the cold of those snowy scenery. Countries Scandinavian ones have always triggered me. The snowy landscape, revealing a wonderful world when spring arrives and the mysteries of the northern lights...
