Made by Crystal Heller
I made this cat by building the base around a cardboard sketch I made and building up the form with newspaper and masking tape. I then covered it in paper mache clay and added the nose and mouth with the clay. I used air dry clay for the eyeballs and then made the eyelids with paper mache clay. I then covered the whole head in fur and trimmed the nose and ceheks a bit , added a leather nose and airbrushed a little black around the eyes, nose and mouth 🙂
Thank you from Australia 🙂

Beautiful work. The fur just makes this piece!
Love the fur ! Check out Anne Andersons work she is amazing for big cat sculptures.
The sabertooth head is fabulous! I really love it, as I am a cat lover. Love it! Love it!
Absolutely amazing!
I want to give it a hug! Great job. He doesn’t look intimidating, very! Thanks.
WOW! Absolutely amazing well done!
Absolutely lovely work!
Thanks for posing with that impressive fellow….in the first picture there is no sense of scale. “Life size” however – wow!
