Skating On Thin
Ice….January 1914 Two romantic figures
dance and swirl in a flurry of snow and ice on a winter evening. The young man wears his
best dark suit with a single red rose buttonhole, matching the colour of his partner’s coat,
buttoned-up warm against the icy wind. |

Two one-of-a-kind twelfth-scale figures. No moulds were used to make,
or were taken from, these figures. His clothes are made of black linen, her
coat and hat of red cotton velvet. Her skirts are of lace and linen. They
both have ice-skates made from polymer clay. They are about 15cm tall and the
base measures 13x20cm, and is painted with inks and acrylic mediums. His pose
is possible because of a wire fixed to the base which can be hidden in his
trouser leg, and he can be taken off this easily. Both figures have bodies
and limbs which can be posed. |
