Description
The fifth sculpture is the phoenix. In my imagination there is always a conflict between the Cerberus and Phoenix. So I had to honor this beautiful bird. This sculpture is unique because of its fancy decoration. Many devil claw arms (with points still attached, I normally cut them to reduce injury) make up the tail, wing tips, and delicate feet. This one is the most popular sculpture because of it. I am very fond of it as well.
The phoenix is 11 inches tall, 6 1/2 inches long, and 3 1/2 inches wide.Want to know what a Devil Claw is? Read about them here! [link]

That is such a cool piece of work there. I love how it has that beautiful decay kind of look. Like it would come alive and fly about the room on a particularly haunting night. Great job.

Wow!
This is an amazing piece of art. It looks like if the phoenix just had rised from the ashes and still was regenerating its body. Really awesome!

You're too kind!

No problem!

Well, it has to be cooked a special way. The fruit is prickly with hairs and really sticky with a oil like substance. It smells funny too (I like the smell, but others find it disgusting). It cooks like okra I heard and tastes a bit bitter. Must be an aquired taste...

Must be, certainly doesn't sound like something I'd want to try.

Ah, thank you for the information. Is there a price range for your work? These are really unique pieces and I know you put a lot of time into them, and don't know what kind of price you would have to ask for them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is a price range. A small one (mermaid size) is $25, a medium (phoenix) is $35, a large (centaur, cerberus) is $45, and an extra large (eastern, western dragon) is $60. The price goes up if you want added materials to it, such as wire decoration and other things (I collect random stuff so the option is always there). But just as a devil claw sculpture, with all the spikes and flower organs, it follows the standard price.

Thank you for the info... that's really reasonable. Can I pay you PayPal for a Phoenix similar to that one you've got posted? Not to attempt to exactly reproduce, but similar. Otherwise, what type of payment arrangements do you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't have paypal unfortuneately...but if it's possible for you to send a check my way then you can do that. I'll make your medium sized phoenix (similar to the first one, but not exact) first, then photograph it and let you see it. If you like it then you can send the check may way. Sound good? This'll be fun, I loved making the phoenix!
