Irene Rogal
Madison, Wisconsin
Irene, 14, built and finished a Hawk Classics “Beach Bunny Catchin’ Waves.” She sculpted a custom base, adding seaweed and sand to water made from Mod Podge and plaster. Beach Bunny’s hair was partly resculpted, and Irene added her bikini lines. “The poor lady barely fit together,” Irene said. “She had to have her sides completely reconstructed.” Irene mostly hand-painted her scene with Scale Colors and AK Interactive acrylics over gray primer.
