Polymer Clay Sea Turtle Sculpture (4.5 Inch) from Bali, "Vibrant Sea Turtle"

J.S. Anderson draws inspiration from his family history of artistry, devoting his career to exploring the wonderful possibilities offered by polymer clay. Working with Meili W., he diligently forms the clay by hand into tubes that feature colorful and imaginative designs. Cross sections are cut from these tubes and carefully applied around the body of this sculpture of a sea turtle. The majestic turtle is decorated with vibrant and intricate motifs that cover its entire form. J.S. Anderson has worked for 25 years to perfect this millefiori-style technique, which has allowed him to create intricate and amazing designs on his sculptures. Each pattern on this sculpture is diligently designed by the artisans through a painstaking process to ensure perfection.
