SITTING GIRL HOLDING FRENCH BULLDOG SCULPTURE
The Sitting Girl Holding French Bulldog sculpture is of Beth, a gorgeous young woman with a huge heart for her mother and all her friends. Beth loved her family’s French Bulldogs, including the incredibly loyal Alfie, and her sculpture was commissioned to sit on a stone bench in Beth’s memorial garden in Oregon. There are very few commissions I can say touched my heart so deeply as this commission did, and by the time that I finished, I felt so connected with Beth and her mum that it is difficult to explain here how much trying to capture Beth’s gentle happiness in bronze meant to me. When I think of the US, I think mostly of Beth and her mum, and when I think of them, I also feel deep inside me how lucky I have been to feel their love extended to include me.Â

Which Material to Choose
Bronze Resin – bronze metal powder is mixed with a resin to create the appearance of foundry bronze metal, but is more affordable and lightweight.
Foundry Bronze  – refers to the poured molten metal that is cast solid or hollow, depending on size, at a bronze foundry (using the traditional lost wax process). It is more robust and will appreciate in value.

How The Sculpture Was Made
After the Sitting Girl Holding French Bulldog statue was finished a rubber mould was taken, with ‘keys’ placed in the rubber to ensure proper positioning. Then a shell of fibreglass was applied, to protect the mould and support it during the casting process. Learn more about the casting process…
