COMMISSIONED ORIGINAL FIGURINES
Few types of artwork can capture an animal better than sculpture. Here's some of
the reasons why.

By it's dimensional nature alone, you have the ability to touch it and "feel" the
shape and the medium, to "feel" the muscles and the coat texture;

you have the ability to view it from every angle, just as you do in life;

to capture the color and expression....that special "cock" of the head, or raised
paw, sometimes difficult to capture in a photo.

and in some cases, in dogs of uncertain parentage, a custom sculpture is the
ONLY way you can have a figurine that really looks like them!

When you think of sculpture in those terms, you can better understand why there
are many many things to consider when deciding on commissioning a figurine.  
That's why a simple rate chart isn't possible.  Private consultations and individual
quotes are the only real way to know the amount of an investment you can expect.

Here is a list of some of the questions you will need to consider when asking for a
quote.

1. What medium do you want your completed sculpture to be?
Ceramic - Cold Cast Porcelain - Cold Cast Bronze - Bronze
Each of these mediums require something different to bring them to reality

2. What size do you want your finished piece to be?
Are you looking for a small piece to set on your curio shelf or a larger piece to be
the focal point of a room?
Cathexis Studios does not do life size sculpting, but can refer you to a talented
sculptor who does.

3. What type of pose do you have in mind?
A figurine in a sitting or lying pose, or even a head bust, requires different (and
less) time to create than a standing or walking pose......and those require less
than a figurine that is gaiting, running or jumping.  All are possible, all are
welcome :-)

4. Do you want your sculpture to be a one of a kind?
This can greatly influence the cost.

5. Do you have numerous photos for the artist to work from?
As elementary as this sounds, if the artist isn't able to see the animal in person
because of distance or perhaps because the animal is no longer living, photos or
videos become necessary to "capture" the things that make them who they are.

Commissioned sculptures start at $500.00.
Sculpture designs remain the copyrighted work of Sandi Rolfe and cannot
be  reproduced without written consent and purchase of copyright.
Ordering Information: All sculpture work includes consultation with the client to
establish specifically what is requested.  Sculptures are created from photos
and/or videos, and returned with the sculpture.  A 50% non refundable deposit is
required to begin the sculpture, and the balance is due at delivery.
The delivery time is dependent on the time availability in the studio.  Every
sculpture is different, and has it's own special needs and time frame.  Your
inquiries will be happily answered by writing to: CathexisStudios@comcast.net
