What
are the sculptures made of?
They are
sculpted from polymer
clay, a term used to describe synthetic clays
manufactured by several companies under their individual trade names. Each
manufacturer's formula varies in durability, texture and color, but all are
similar in one aspect: they are clays formulated to cure at temperatures far
lower than typical kiln-baked clays. Because of their relatively low-firing
temperatures, these clays have seen a broadening application in the arts.
Their plastic-based composition yields a final product that is much less
susceptible to breakage than ordinary clays.
How
do they get their shape?
Each sculpture is formed by shaping and working the clay by the Artist's hand.
No molds or forms are used in their creation.
Dental tools are used for the tiny detail work, such as their fingers
and nails on the larger sculptures.
How
do they get their color?
The color is achieved by combining different colors of clay and blending
them by hand.
How
are their faces applied?
Each face is hand painted by the Artist.
Are
they breakable?
Yes, they are if you drop them or try to bend them, however, if handled
carefully they will last indefinitely.
Where
is the best place to put the hanging fairies?
They are best when hung at a level above the eye like from a
ceiling fan or light fixture so that you can look up into their faces. One
exception to this is the Guardian Angel who hangs nicely from the rear view
mirror of your car to remind you to “Never
drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.”
How
do you ship them?
One or two fairies are shipped via U.S. Priority mail and larger
orders are shipped via insured service.
What
methods of payment do you accept?
You can pay with a credit card via Paypal or
send a personal check, however if you pay by check, shipping is postponed
until the check clears.
Who
pays the cost of shipping?
Buyer pays shipping at the rate of $4.00 for 1 or 2 fairies. Shipping
charges for larger orders are subject to quantity and location. Contact
artist for current insured shipping rates for large sculptures and larger
orders.
Do
you offer discounts for large volume orders?
Yes, my sculptures are sold wholesale to retail establishments throughout
the United States
and some tropical islands.
Does each sculpture come with a
story card?
Yes, as a finishing touch, I
compose a short tale describing each sculpture created. There is a specific
story created for the Fairy, Angel, MerFairy and Mermaids.
Read their cards in each section.
How can I communicate with the
Artist?
