Last Valentine's Day I painted this watercolor painting of two foxes for my boyfriend. This year, my boyfriend is now my fiance and I thought it would be fun to make him a small sculpture of the two foxes from last year's painting.

I first sculpted it out of clay and then painted it with acrylic paint after firing it (you can see an unpainted photo as well as multiple views of the sculpture right here in my sketch blog ). I had debated about using glaze to finish the sculpture, but in the end I decided that paint would help me better reach the finished look that I had in my head, and luckily it worked out great. When it was all done, I sealed the paint with a flat spray finish by Valspar. The completed sculpture is approximately 3.5" tall, completed in February of 2011.
