This is a polymer clay sculpture of a Maltese thats sculpted to the top of this treasure box/trinket box. An original design by myself, I handsculpted it from fimo and premo polymer clays, using my fingers and a wooden kemper tool, and handpainted it to perfection with quality satiny smooth acrylics.

After sculpting and painting, the piece was cured in my oven, which hardened and sealed the acrylics to the clay. The finish is natural and it's easily cleaned with a moist cloth without the worry of the paints chipping or smudging. A light glaze can be applied for a glossy look if desired.

She's up for auction on ebay the week of Aug.28 - Sept.4,'06 and is signed and dated by me. A certificate of authenticity is available upon request for the owner of this piece.

Animals, especially dogs, are my favorite subject to sculpt. They inspire me because of their personalities and cute hairy looks :)

Thanks for looking!
