SciFi and Fantasy Art The Seahorse AKA Hippocamp by Tony Orzech

This past Summer, after a hard rain, the high water receded to reveal a 1-3 inch layer of clay that was deposited over what is normally a small sand beach area, next to my favorite swimming spot. I collected much of the clay to sculpt this 4 foot by 4 foot Hippocamp. It took about 5 hours to do and it lasted for 2 weeks. That was when the next high water came and let him swim away... along with all the clay.

17 Nov 2008	Heidi Hecht	Loading... Guys, this is why you always want to carry a digital camera with you. You never know what kind of cool pictures you can get. You have real talent. Tony Orzech replies: "Thanks Heidi. I really like my digital camera. This sculpture would have been lost without it. "

27 Jan 2009	Koi	Loading... 200 thumbs up. why didn’t you take it and then use a kiln? Tony Orzech replies: "Nice idea, but this was over 4 feet square. A little too large for any kiln I have ever had access to. And even if I did have the kiln, I never would have gotten it up the steep hill side through the woods, in one piece. No, this was done with the knowledge that it would be short lived, like a snow sculpture or sand castle, done just for the fun of it "
