Testimonials

Sue, a follower of the Handmade Pet Sculptures by JFCRN Facebook page, purchased the book DIY Realistic Dog Sculptures 1. With a background in portrait painting, Sue decided to expand her artistic skills through sculpture. Even though she is comfortable creating two-dimensional works of art, Sue was nervous about creating realistic sculptures until she found Joan Cabarrus's book.

After purchasing the book, Sue immediately started her first sculpture, with astounding results. She was able to follow Joan's technique and apply the instructions for sculpting a short-haired dog to create a sculpture of a German Shepherd.

Sue reached out to Joan for a critique. She shared pictures of her progress, and Joan was able to provide valuable feedback.

After several days of sculpting, Sue's finished product was unbelievably well made. We couldn't believe this was her first time sculpting! Here are some pictures of Sue's sculpting journey. from beginning to the end. Thank you, Sue, for giving us permission to share your experience.
