Mirabelle the Ostrich

$450.00

Meet Mirabelle, an ostrich sculpture with a big personality.

Meet Cooper, the coolest life sized paper mache cougar ever. It was cold in my studio when he was being created and I draped a cloth around his neck and had a chuckle...when he was ready to paint and I removed the "scarf" he just didn't feel complete so I added a permanent one, giving him an instant 'cool factor'. Cooper is sculpted of paper mache, hand painted and hand finished. He's tough, but needs to remain indoors while being displayed.

All of my sculptures are one-of-a-kind, never copied or mass produced.

Care

This sculpture is crafted with a hand made paper fiber and plaster clay that hardens to a tough shell finish. After drying, it is then sanded (if necessary) hand painted and coated with a clear matte finish that makes it water resistant. Though this finishing process adds another layer of protection to the finished piece, it is not water proof and is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose it to extreme moisture or heat.

Paper mache is a tough but relatively lightweight material. Mishandling can create chips, scuffs or cracks. Treated with care it will last decades.

This piece requires little care. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth.

Special Note

I’ve always had a passion for things with a history. Old, worn, well loved things just seem to evoke a sense of purpose and meaning in me that isn’t found with new materials. Working with paper, creating plaster clay and incorporating other vintage items in my work is a wonderful way to create pieces with personality and soul.

I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed creating it!
