I was asked by a very eminent client to make an 18ct gold sculpture as a golden wedding anniversary present for his wife. The subject was their dog, (Gypsy). As the client lives in Devon 240 miles from me, I asked him to send me photos of the dog. One of the photos was when the dog was a pup it was sitting in the branches of a tree, so I sent him a drawing of what I thought would make a work of art as opposed to just a sculpture.
The dog is made from 18ct yellow gold with garnet eyes, lying in the branches of a bronze tree. All presented in a glass case. I am pleased to say the clients wife was delighted.
