Handcrafted Polymer Clay Penguin Sculpture 3 Inch, "Penguin Mother"

Jon Stuart Anderson forms clay by hand into tubes that feature colorful and imaginative designs. Cross sections are cut from these tubes and carefully applied on the body of this sculpture depicting a mother penguin and her chick. The loving duo is decorated with elaborate designs and patterns that include whale motifs along the mother's back and penguin designs on her belly. The artist has worked for 25 years to perfect this millefiori-style technique, which has allowed him to create intricate and amazing designs on his sculptures.
