Hi KAS followers, here’s a little update on my new Wren Sculpture – work in progress .
It’s a life-size Wren sculpture, which will be perched on a wooden stump.
How is it made…?
Firstly, I made a quick ‘maquette’, which is a 3D sketch in wax. This helps with the composition and scale of the piece. I then used an actual Wren’s skull and beak as the armature for the head. After adding ball bearings for the eyes, I ‘fleshed’ out the head shape with wax.
The blocking out of the shapes and getting the proportions right is next. When I’m happy with his expression and the composition, I’ll start to add detail.
Once finished, the piece will be produced as a limited edition, and will then be available from my Just Kirsty Sculpture & Gifts Shop on the British Craft House. You’ll also be able to find it from my SHOP Page
More soon!
