Mini Roscoe was the Talk of the Reception

 

This is Mr.and Mrs. Kyle (Eileen Hennigan) Desrosiers and their dog, Roscoe.

We enjoyed a beautiful wedding weekend in Syracuse NY.

 

 

The cake table where my mini rendition of Roscoe drew many comments and praise.

 

This cake topper was a great hit - right down to his butt wrinkles.  I'm pleased with how little Roscoe came out.  It was a challenge and a privilege to have been asked to make the cake topper.

Thank you Eileen and Kyle - may you have many blessed years together.

 

Love,

Aunt Cyndy

 

 

 

 

Meet Roscoe!

My nephew Kyle and his fiancee Eileen have made a special mini request. They would like a miniature sculpture of their dog, Roscoe. It will be the wedding cake topper.

 

Roscoe is a Colorado Bulldog, with an unusually large cranium!

 

Here's my progression thus far:

 

Looks a bit funny without front legs. The ears are just 'samples' at this time.

Mini Roscoe sits about 3 inches tall and will have a depth of about 4 inches including his tail.

 

 

 

 

Finally, four legs!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Almost ready for eyes, ears and tail. Need to work on those legs some more...

I am using Super Sculpey; I've learned to smooth the clay with baby oil which works great but I have to be careful to use it sparingly.

 

 

I am pleased with my progress thus far. The wedding is in 15 days - and I have to leave in 14 days (travel time), so time to get busy!

 

Enjoy this beautiful fall weather. Toodles for now,

 

Cyndy
