Pegasus

This is Adonis, my newest Pegasus. Pegasus are wonderful because they combine two of the things I love, birds (or at least wings) and horses.

When I was sculpting in ceramics I use to sculpt all sorts of birds, like this owl. Sculpting wings on my model horses was a natural way to combine the wings I enjoyed sculpting so much on the birds with the horses I enjoy customizing.

Sculpting the wings on the models is very time consuming. For most of the horses I start with a wire and do one feather on each side at a time as I need the feathers to support each other. I am using epoxy clay. I have tried making Sculpty wings on one horse which was simpler and went quicker. That horse is not quite finished yet due to other anatomical issues.

You can see progress shots of several of my horses on my facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.287063537981207.69956.106447766042786&type=3.

My finished Pegasuses and other fantasy models can be seen on my web-site at http://hollylenz.com/modelhorsesfantasy.html. I currently have two for sale.
