I miss Buster. I'm not a sculptor but I did my best...
This is a sculture of Buster, my faithful French Bulldog who past away 3 years ago. Buster had become ill suddenly and even after spending 2 weeks under veterinary care, he continued to decline as his condition was incurable. I miss his curiosity and his adventurous spirit that filled the room and brought excitement everywhere he went. He wasn't perfect and had a mischievous side at times, but that was just Buster and that's who Buster was! :)
About a year or so before he died, my aunt brought my little cousin over and they brought some clay for us to make sculptures. Now, I'm certainly no sculptor but I did enjoy working with clay and I decided that I would make a sculpture of Buster. I never had it fired or painted, but in a way, the lack of my perfection in this sculpture kind of reflects who Buster was......Rough around the edges but totally real and authentic. It surprisingly looks a lot like him and I'm happy that I got the chance to do this before long before he left us.
