Loonie

Have you ever seen a loon?  Maybe not, and you probably did not imagine it would look like this!  Steven makes this special "Loonie" with long stripey legs and quirky cowboy boots, all fitted on a sturdy base.

The Loon's body is slip cast and hand-built in high fire clay, with steel legs, oil and acrylic finish and heavy painted 5" x 5" plaster base. The bird itself is approx. 11" long x 4" wide, and stands about 15" tall, including the base.  Both legs unscrew from the body for transport. One of the boots has a pin that is inserted into the base to balance perfectly.  

As Steven individually makes each of his birds, the colouring may vary slightly from this image.
