Doggie is one of my sculptures, made from powertex and it is coloured with special pigment with varnish. It can stay outside - withstand rain, ice and frost or it can guard in home. It is made from a wire armature and cotton fabric immersed in special fabric hardeners (powertex), which makes the fabric very strong and hard to the touch - yet surprisingly lightweight. Care: It can take a shower - washable in cold water.
