How it started:

In 2017 artist Ruth Collett sculpted a life-sized bust of their family dog Bert, as a gift for her husband's 40th birthday.

By taking measurements and references from photos, Ruth first sculpted the dog in clay. From there she covered the clay in resin to create a mould into which she poured plaster to cast the piece. Ruth finished the bust by painting and mounting on a stand.

She posted some photos of the finished dog bust on instagram and the response was incredible.

Ruth is now commissioned by pet lovers all over the world to sculpt pet portraits of their beloved dog or cat.

And for those looking for something a little different, the mounted and framed hand painted noses make perfect gifts.

I don’t need to go into details but FB is one very special, much adored pooch for all of my family. I love the art work. And the photo with it is lovely.”
