The Sandicast Pedigree

Artist Sandra Brue has a unique style and ability to capture the personality and inner spirit of each animal with unmatched realism. Sandra studies and works with live models. She observes and bonds with her subjects at breeders, zoos, and in the wild. Sandicast sculptures often take months to complete. Sandra's passion for perfection requires countless hours of painstaking attention to detail--her Jack Russell Terrier Original has 65,358 individually sculpted hairs!

Recognizing Sandra's talent, Disney commissioned her to create The Lion King collection in 1994. Sandra Brue's work can be found in the homes of United States Presidents, the Queen of England, and discerning collectors worldwide.

Sculpting

Sandra uses oil-based clay that never hardens to create her original. Its softness allows her to painstakingly recreate the fine detail of hair and fur that has become her hallmark. After making several trips back and forth to the breeder or wildlife park, and only after knowing the piece looks just right, will she begin to put the hairs on the animal? Sandra doesn't take any shortcuts by using a rake or comb. Etching each individual hair, one at a time, is an extremely time-consuming process and can take days to complete. When the clay original is ready to be cast, Sandra carves her name, "BRUE," on each piece. Be sure to look for her name and an official Sandicast copyright decal. This will ensure that you are acquiring authentic Sandicast sculptures by Sandra Brue.
