Miniature Sculpture: Landing Of The Dragonfly
Inspired by a bee I carved with the Savannah Cat, I Created this Dragonfly from steel and epoxy resin. It won the Visitor's Choice Award at The Royal Miniature Art Society exhibition 2024. Metal and epoxy combined is such a great way to add a small detailed piece to a larger sculpture.

What I Offer
A Heartfelt Thank You from Animals Asia Supporter, Ollie
Rusticmania generously donated a beautifully carved Moon Bear sculpture to support a recent charity event for Animals Asia. The fundraiser raised over £7,500, and my contribution played a meaningful role in its success.
The winning bidder was delighted with her new sculpture — lovingly named Dawson — and the donation helped shine a light on an incredible cause. At Rusticmania, I'm proud to support organisations that align with my values and to see my work contribute to meaningful change.
