Mandy first hand-crafts her design in a material which is baked to form the solid shape from which a mould can be made. The sculptures are then made from the mold from a bronze and iron compound with a copper polish finish. 
 
Mandy McBride is an IT trainer by day but with a passion for sculpting. She has had a life-long love of animals and supports various animal charities but has always been frustrated by the small amount that she has been able to contribute both financially and time wise. She finally realised that she could do more by using her sculpting talent to create sculptures of those animals and hopefully play a small part in saving them from extinction and cruelty. All post-production profit goes to the Orangutan Foundation.
