new circus series

Hannah and Handsome her Horse



Lars the Lion and Elsa the Elephant

i came across a wonderful set of vintage buttons while out treasure hunting.
i created molds from them and made these bronze pieces.
 the way the bronze picks up detail, amazes me every time... 
there is a seal, a caged tiger, and a clown yet to be seen!

p.s. edit. note. >  
when these buttons were created, animals were still performing in the circus. 
and to look at these makes me cringe a little with sadness for all who may have been mistreated.
