Hanblechia Studio:
AA "Sleepy Shire" sculpted by Donna Chaney. He was then claybody customized and custom glazed by Paige Easley
Patty. Paige turned back both ears and resculpted both the mane and tail somewhat to have a more tangled, wind
blown aspect. She then custom glazed this piece to a dark dappled bay or brown with pangare in a satin finish.
He is amazingly detailed for such a tiny piece but *very* hard to photograph.
This is the Kaiser Kicking Donkey mold sculpted by Gerhard Bochmann. Paige turned the all white bisque into this
custom glazed beauty of a red Sicilian Donkey who is mad at the world.
This is an early work in ceramic by Paige.
When she was just getting started in glazing,
I took advantage of her offer and scrambled
to find a bisque. I happened to have this
Franklin Mint "Pirouette" sculpted by Pamela du
Boulay and off he went to her studio. He came
back as a pretty shaded liver chestnut.
