Miniatures by Dan

 I've begun a new series of sculpture that I'm calling

"Miniatures by Dan"

These are small pieces.

They range in size from 2" to "8 in height.

Thus will be an ongoing series.

Astronomers

My latest series of sculptures

are abstract pieces 

named after famous astronomers.

followed an elliptical orbit around the sun.

My ETSY Shop

 My favorite sculptures are those which would be called 'tabletop' sculptures. 

They range in size from 18 to 36 inches.

However, because I have limited space, I started 

creating smaller pieces. 

These pieces are easier to store and transport, 

and also are quite suitable for shipping,

as the freight costs are affordable.

It is for this reason that I opened an ETSY shop.

ETSY is an online medium for selling handmade goods 

and is especially suited for selling smaller works of art.
