Snail Nutcracker – Concept to reality

Snail Nutcracker – Concept to reality

Jun 29

A few posts back I posted pictures of an idea I had for a Snail Nutcracker that I sculpted in clay. I carved him out of Black Walnut and it came out great!

This piece was a huge hit at the 2013 Nutcracker Collector’s Convention. I’m proud to report that the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum curator, Arlene Wagner, bought it at the convention’s auction to be put on display at the museum and enjoyed by all who visit the museum.

I will be posting more on the 2013 Nutcracker Collector’s Convention soon. Stay tuned!
