Gasp & Grasp For Liberty

The gasp and grasp for liberty.  It's worth it...

This piece is 30 x 40 cm / 12 x 15.75," acrylic and dried clay on wood.  And a genuine, plastic, Statue Of Liberty souvenir from New York City!  Before attaching the figures, the wood was painted with an acrylic background.  The figures are attached to the wood with a strong mounting glue/cement that's rated to handle 300kg/m2 of pressure (see photo).  

These gaspers and graspers are made of hobby clay (see photos) and air dried for a minimum of five days.  They are coated with two coats of matte, floor glue, which is somewhat like a clear shellac which creates a bit of a sheen but also keeps things together a bit better and adds a slight layer of protection. 

Since the figure is dried clay and not fired ceramic, it's more delicate.  It can't get really wet and it can more easily chip or crack if something hits it.  For this reason I will not be held responsible or offer a refund if any of the figure is damaged or falls off, etc. in the future.  I've done the maximum to ensure that the piece hangs securely and that the head is attached securely.  But if something knocks into it or it gets wet, I can't guarantee that this delicate figure could withstand any sort of shock to them.

The piece is not that large or heavy but the purchaser is highly encouraged to hang it on either a wood stud behind the wall with a long, thick nail or drilling holes in concrete and inserting a plastic anchor before inserting the screw.

Prints are from a fine photo of the piece.
