 The story of the first Spirit Sculpture from Olivier Studios 

       Many years ago, on our Virginia farm, my husband and I boarded a retired horse that we had both met in New York City.   I had met this horse before I met his owner and before I met my husband. This wildly colorful appaloosa’s name was Gypsy.  Years later, when it was time for him to retire from trails and travel, his owner thought of us and sent him to live in our green Virginia pastures. Gypsy eventually reached the end of his full, adventurous, well traveled life and he was buried on our farm.  The trouble was that his owner had moved to California and could not visit him here. She was heartbroken. So, I thought and thought about how to send her a little piece of mind.  Then it happened, The idea formed and I fashioned a tiny sculpture from the sparse ‘appaloosa’ tail hair that I had saved and sent the little Gypsy Sculpture to her.  He is with her now, in spirit and in Sculpture and in hand

                                                           ........

      I am not sure if she still does this but she used to keep him in a special compartment in her purse so he was ALWAYS with her. Now that's love. And you thought a photo would do...

Spirit Sculpture

of

YOUR horse!

      Spirit Sculptures are made with hair from your own horses’ mane or tail. You can keep this little horse in the house with you, on your desk at work or anywhere you choose.

        Spirit Sculptures are a whimsical way to remember and memorialize your current horse friends and ones that are no longer with you. If you have a snip of hair that is all you need. A lock of hair about 7 inches long and about ¼ inch thick is just perfect. If what you have is less than that we can talk about possibilities, maybe a smaller slimmer version? Please, be sure that I have your phone number so that we can discuss this when I receive the hair for the sculpture.

        Just a word, to be clear: Spirit sculptures are small sculptures, made with wire and horse hair.  They are small, personal, pieces of art and are not designed to withstand rough handling and are not toys. They may be interesting to, but are not up-to the love of, a small child…..  Please keep both the child and Sculpture safe and separate.      

(The Sculptures range from $65 and up, plus 5 dollars shipping.)

However, the HAIR has a great deal to do with the way the sculpture comes out. Your horse’s hair helps to determine the spirit-attitude of his/her sculpture.
