    Description

    Sandicast Lying Beagle Dog Sculpture #186  10" Long  signed Sandra Brue Hand Cast & Painted VTG
    The original Sandicast sculptures are made with
    an oil-based clay
    that never hardens. The softness allows Sandra to take her time in recreating the intricate detail of an animal's hair and fur.
    You do not need a special paint kit to repair most minor paint imperfections. You can try matching art paints, felt tip markers or pens, or magic markers to get the desired result.  The key is to start out slow and easy by dabbing very small amounts of color so that you can make sure the paint matches and will give you your desired result. If not, then wipe it off with a soft cloth or paper towel as quickly as possible and try something else until you get the color to blend the way you want it.
    I believe this is one of Sandra's earlier pieces, she started her company in 1981, the identification tag on the bottom tells me this was an early piece.
