Did You Know…
This figurine was originally going to be made out of ceramic material. Due to the Pandemic, I had no access to a kiln. This brought me to experiment in working with different materials.
The Figurine was created with a trap door with the intention to dispense peanuts, posable legs, and feet.
A rough template was created for the sides of the Chab so I could construct it three dimensionally. Many other templates were created just like it to ensure symmetry among the whole sculpt.
