Take a Chance

Here is the little guy that kept me busy last weekend - Chance, the grey cat. It's sad though because this is a pet memorial. Projects like this always remind me of my own dearly departed pets. Their pictures keep me company everyday. 

At least, even in a small sculpture, Chance's human companion would have a keepsake that sits like the adorable cat I'm sure Chance was. 

Missing Missy

One of my mom's dear friends ordered a custom pet sculpture from me a few months back but she's only had the chance to give it to her friend recently. Her friend has been mourning the loss of her dog Missy, and she wanted to give her a memorial of her beloved pet. It was sad working on this piece, I've lost pet dogs over the years and I know the heartbreak it brings.

After the order was completed, she sent me a lovely message about how alike the custom pet sculpture and the real Missy was. And the other day, when she was finally able to give the custom dog sculpture to her friend, she sent me these photos.

Thank you for sharing these photos. I am glad to know that even though Missy is not there with her anymore, she will never be forgotten. I am hoping that Missy finds her way back to her or if not, to a new home that will love her just as much.

My Etsy Shop is open again!

Moving, specially in between countries is no mean feat. Even after the physical move, there's all the adjustments weeks, and even months after.

So, after a very long break, I finally found the time to sit down and focus on my Etsy Shop. The goal is to start simple: post my caricature work. I've been based in the UAE for the last decade and it was my main market. Now, I have to spread my wings even further.

There will not be much reviews or feedback in my Etsy shop even though it is more than a year old. It's been closed for more than half that time and even before that I was not able to focus on marketing it. That is going to change starting right now.

Taddaaa.... Welcome to my OrangeJar Art's Etsy shop - hope you have time to browse!
