John Perry Sculpture

 Two adult dolphins

Molded from airbrushed pellucida

on a Manzanita Burl Wood Base

Size: 12 inches tall

The bases for many of the sculptures

are the root burl of the manzanita bush

Manzanita grows abundantly in the high dry mountains

of Southern California and Mexico

Pellucida is a compound of resins developed by the Artist

that is both durable and versatile. In the translucent white

form it resembles bisque porcelain. When polished the cream

form looks like ivory, the black like marble,

and the green variegated form like jade

It is also often airbrushed for more realistic representations

Care & Cleaning

The white form may be cleaned with a damp cloth

A little cleanser such as Comet may be used on stubborn stains

The polished forms should only be buffed with a soft cloth

The airbrushed pieces may be wiped with a damp cloth
