/24-7PressRelease/ - June 27, 2006 - Sandicast are renowned for their Animal sculptures by Sandra Brue, the Masterpieces of Nature to be precise. "Their quality was something we were very impressed with when first introduced to them, and immediately decided to promote their line of wildlife figurines," says Dean of WildFigurines.com
As a wildlife figurines web site, the primary purpose of Wildfigurines.com is to offer wildlife figurines of all shapes and sizes, but more importantly to offer as much as mother nature offers in her array of wildlife species.
Sandicast's range of wildlife figurines and sculptures has done this. Their range of wildlife spans every continent, from the North Pole to the south, from the African plains to the North American wilderness, to the oceans and seas, and even to the bush of Australia.
They also offer a range of sizes from Original Size, to Lil' Snoozers and Junior's, all the way up to the impressive and intimidating Life Size statues. As a lover of wildlife figurines, the small collector will find many pieces for their mantle, where as the larger statues are well suited to foyer's and the like.
Sandra Brue's method for creating her sculptures starts with becoming intimate with the animal itself. Trips to the San Diego zoo are not uncommon when starting a new piece, even to the extent that she sat inside the enclosure with a giant hippopotamus, only six feet away, whilst sculpting.
Sandra uses an oil-based clay that never hardens to create the original, and she will make several trips back and forth to ensure the sculpture is just right. Then she adds the hairs, one by one, an extremely time consuming affair, and just before the piece is ready for casting, she will carve her name "BRUE" to ensure authenticity.
After hand-pouring a cast stone mixture, the sculpture is checked for quality before it is hand painted using both bristle and air brushing. Finally, specially crafted glass eyes that appear real enough to create the feeling that the animal is looking at you, are inserted into the sculpture.
WildFigurines.com is a family business trading under our company Tridean Pty Ltd.
