Kathy's Moli

Bronze on alabaster base.

Three inches tall.

My friend Kathy asked me to make a sculpture of her dog Moli, a Pomeranian/Pekinese mix. Moli is a certified therapy dog. Kathy dresses her up and takes her to schools, nursing homes, etc. Since some folks have said my Moli sculpture looks like an Ewok instead of dog, I am in the process of making another Moli. Kathy will then be able to choose which one she likes better.

UPDATE: A year ago my friend Jeff scolded me for not giving the Moli sculpture to Kathy. I was concerned because although everyone who has seen the Moli sculpture thinks it is cute many said she looks like a bear or an Ewok. Well, I never told Kathy about the sculpture. As mentioned above, I intended to make another Moli and give Kathy the choice. In fact, I currently have a new Moli, that looks like more like a Pomeranian in the investment process. This May, I saw Kathy, she asked about the sculpture and I confessed. Kathy has now seen this Moli and loves her! According to Kathy, people often comment that her live Moli looks like an Ewok, so sculpture Moli does in fact correctly depict her. So, my Kathy's Moli is now on its way to Kathy's home. Happy ending! Except Kathy says she wants the new sculpture too.
