Description
Make Do and Mend by Richard Cooper Bronze
‘Make Do and Mend’, that is definately this mouse’s moto! And when the day’s work is done, time for a quick groom and maybe a crumb or two for tea.
This well-fed mouse sitting upon a vintage cotton reel has been designed and sculpted by Michael Simpson. The whole piece in cast in solid bronze resin and the charming little mouse hand painted with artist’s oils.
The piece is carefully packed in a branded box with a colour booklet detailing the full collection.
The company started life to design and manufacture limited edition foundry bronze sculptures and collectibles. The founder, Richard Cooper, had previously owned Country Artists Ltd, of Stratford upon Avon. A company he had also founded. This was a successful company designing and manufacturing animals, birds and a wide collection of wildlife subjects from around the world. All the sculptures were made in resin and hand painted in sizes from miniature to life size.
When the company was sold in 2004 Richard was not ready to retire and decided to start a new venture in the same arena but in bronze rather than resin as the base material.
Initially, Richard decided to develop comparatively large sculptures of wildlife studies and figurative work suitable for art galleries in contrast to the smaller subjects from the previous company, which were sold to gift shops.
