This memorial bust is special to me. This is the bust of a school teacher who donated her kidney to her student. Unfortunately due to complications the teacher passed away. Such selfless sacrifice!

A Family of Bunnies!

Some time ago it was my cousin’s 50th birthday and I had no idea what to get her. She is the creative types and I am not. I really wanted to get her something personalized and that’s when I thought of Barney! He made a set of 4 rabbits that represent her family – a teacher, a business man, an artist and a doctor! The details was amazing and the final product was very cute and neat.

God is in the details!

Mayuri Hunchyali

God is in the details. And Barney completely lives up to it. He’s relentless till he’s given his client complete satisfaction, and would redo the sculpture a million times till he achieves perfection.

And I’d say the same about the doll he sculpted for me, it sways so gracefully and the color imitation is bang on.

Barney is your go to person for any sculpture customization!
