Sculpting a Metallic Owl
Greetings!
My first project this month was sculpting a metallic owl. It’s available in my shop until it’s sold. It’s made of polymer clay, foil, and acrylic paint.
A friend of mine saw my social media posts about the owl and commissioned me to do a barn owl (which will be my next blog post).
I was inspired by some owl statues that my girlfriend’s mother has in her backyard. Here’s a picture of the main owl that inspired me:
I really liked how the owl was almost turned into shapes, and that the shapes that make up an owl are so iconic that you can really play with them and people will still recognize what it is.
Here’s a magical “how-to” video:
The video was really fun and I’ve already made another of these for the barn owl.
Here are some making-of pics:
That’s it for my metallic owl sculpture. Hope you have an inspired day!
