Ceramic, wall hanging cats head45.00Each handmade by myself using earthenware clay. First I shape the clay paying attetion to head shape, ears etc. so it looks like the cat its based on. Using fine tools I add fur texture effects then the head is left to air dry before being fired in my kiln. It is then carefully painted to match the real thing with a special matt glaze before having a second firing. Wire whiskers are the last part to be added. Send pictures of your pet and I will sculpt a look a like version to hang on your wall or give as a unique gift for a pet lover. Please allow 2-3 weeks for completion and deliveryQuantity
