ABOUT HOW THEY ARE MADE

 

These amazing life-like sculptures are poseable, sturdy, lightweight and free-standing.

 

The basic frame is constructed using a lightweight plastic pipe. A cable is then affixed at the bottom of each leg and permanently cemented into the shoe. This cable serves as an ankle and an adjustment for the balance. The cement provides bottom weight support.

The arms are attached using a flexible, unbreakable cable. The material used allows the armature to be posed in any position i.e., a violinist can be posed supporting a violin and bow. The sculpture will maintain this position indefinitely.   The butler is usually posed holding a tray and goblet in one hand however, his position can be changed to hold a large tray in both hands and serve the horsdoeuvres at your next party.  The hands are formed using wire and attached to the arm cable. Each finger is bendable and can support objects.  The sculptures are made of synthetic materials (other than the clothing) so no need to worry about mildew or bugs.

The completed frame is wrapped with strips of polyester batting shaping the human form. This form is covered with two layers of strong nylon and sprayed with Scotchguard.

Now just add a head and clothing. The head, well that’s just simply magic!
