I finished painting and sealing two of our Mama Dragons.
These dragons are 17 inches tall(43.2cm) and 16.5 “ front to back (41.9cm)
She is solid concrete and painted with exterior latex paint, then sealed for outdoor weather protection.

If you look closely, you can see her baby dragon just emerging from the egg that has hatched.
I painted that in a separate colour to distinguish the baby from the Mama.

Mama Dragon, painted and sealed $130.

It’s always exciting to get a new piece to pour and demold.
This turtle (much requested)
Is 16 inches long and 9.5 inches tall. (40.6 cm long x 24.2 cm tall)

It can be painted in a variety of ways and I’m excited to get started. Unfortunately I have to wait 3 weeks to do that.

Are you a horse lover? We have the perfect statue to memorialize your favourite horse.

We ordered this mold in February and just demolded our first horse head. It is 17 inches tall and 20 inches front to back. 43.2 cm x 50.8.
I can paint it up like your favourite steed and you can even place some ashes from your horse into the mold to make it the perfect memorial of your horse.

I’ll be able to paint up the horse into a few weeks after it dries out.
It will look amazing.
(PS- if you want this first horse head and I can use your photos to paint it up for you. )

Painted and sealed horse head - $135.
