Dappling Curio Porthos Bisque

This is my 'curio' scale Porthos in hand so you can have a better sense of what 'curio' scale really means.  He is essentially a large mini sculpture - and I produce them much smaller than this as well, all the way down to 'micro'.    Here I have airbrushed on grey and black underglaze and am dappling him to be an American Percheron in show ribbons.  See my white bisque photo of this same sculpture for further details about this piece which is also being produced in a larger 'traditional' scale in earthenware, porcelain and English fine bone china.  Sculpted by myself, Hyn Patty, I have also molded and cast him though sometimes I have pieces produced for me outside of my studio for some of my editions.  I can't do them all or I wouldn't also have time to sculpt new work.  Once I have fired on a few layers of underglaze I will clear glaze him, finish up his color with over glazes (china paints and enamels) and then add the metal mane flight ribbons once I have enameled them.   I will also be doing other versions with other manes, tails, and in other pose variations.   See more at hynpatty.com or in this album.
