I must confess, this first began with the idea of making a totem pole of Corgi's but then morphed into something resembling the Jinga game! Or call it a "short stack" of Corgi's! Anyway, this was an entire week's undertaking sculpting a total of 5 dogs for this piece then assembling them and blending together to create one sculpture. Each element was sculpted individually then cured as one unit, it is reinforced with an interior rod from top to bottom for extra strength. It was then painted in detail with acrylics and given a protective finish. I have painted 3 red and white's and 2 red-headed tri's for this piece. The underside of the sculpture is felt lined for that final finishing touch. This will arrive with a signed, dated and numbered certificate of authenticity that may be verified through the ebsq site. This would make a fun addition to your Corgi collection!
