Vintage Sandicast Sandra Brue Schnauzer Sculpture c.1981 Signed

Description: Vintage Sandicast Sandra Brue Schnauzer Sculpture c.1981 Signed Sandra Brue started making her Sandicast figurines in 1981 so this would have been one of the first ones that she made. This one is in mint condition with no chips or cracks and the lighter areas that appear almost white are part of the hand painting process and is supposed to look like that. The glass eyes look so realistic and to me it's like looking at my own dog! The original Sandicast sculptures are made with an oil-based clay that never hardens. The softness allows Sandra to take her time in recreating the intricate detail of an animal's hair and fur. Only after making many trips to see her current subject, and only when she is finally sure that the sculpture is perfect, will she then begin to put the hairs on the animal. Each individual hair is etched one at a time. Brue doesn't take any shortcuts by using a rake or comb. The hair itself can take days to complete, but the end result is definitely worth it.Internationally renowned San Diego artist Sandra Brue has been bringing sculptures to life for over 25 years. Her hand cast, hand painted animal replicas have become famous for their stunning realism and incredible attention to detail.Purebred dogs,cats, wolves and wildlife are all part of her extensive collection. Queen Elizabeth and President Bill Clinton are just a couple of the many celebrities that own Sandicast sculptures.Although Sandy sold Sandicast in 2005 so she would have more time to devote to her philanthropic endeavors, she continues to create new and wonderful sculptures.This will ship USPS Priority Mail.Please read the description and view photos.
