All sculptures are completely handmade. The creatures themselves were sculpted (using WED clay), molded (using Ultracal), and cast by me using mask latex. Everything is flocked, punched, and or painted by hand and with an airbrush. Wood plaque was stagger-cut, stained, and finished by me. All creatures come with an adoption certificate.
