I am working on a new sculpture that I will be looking to sell if I can figure out how to ship the thing once it is finished.

It is my largest work so far and will measure an estimated 20″ tall by 12″ deep by probably 24″ wide when finished. It will also be exceptionally delicate, so shipping would be a major concern. I have already decided that it will have to be built in sections that would be assembled by the end buyer.

What is it you ask? A pair of nesting wyverns. I have the basic structure of them both already made, as well as the eggs which are made from real chicken eggs that I emptied, cleaned thoroughly and painted. The eggs are what dictated the size of the rest of the sculpture, which is to be made entirely of polymer clay with a metal armature to stabilize the overall figure.

Right now the female is just a basic armature, the male has the first layers of polymer clay on it and has began to be scaled starting at the end of the tail. I am about halfway up along the tail, so I have a long way to go before the male is finished. I have not even started on wing design for the pair.
