Shira's handmade metal costume consists of hundreds of tiny brass beads individually inserted into the clay and then painted.

Her removable headdress is also handmade by the artist.

Shira features beautiful solid glass blue eyes and wavy brown mohair. She is made of polymer clay.

The lion is entirely sculpted by hand and then painted. He features solid glass yellow eyes and his polymer clay body is strongly supported by a handmade steel armature. His white whiskers are individually inserted. He stands proudly on a hand sculpted base.

You can see detailed views of Shira and of the lion on the next page.
