Jewellery designer and goldsmith, Delane Cooper, creates K9BF dog sculptures in Toronto, Canada. She integrates today’s 3D print technology and the ancient practice of lost wax casting, which allows her to utilize some of the casting imperfections to contribute to each dog’s distinctive beauty-marks from texture to the fold of an ear.
After the casting process, each dog charm is finished by hand in Delane’s Toronto studio. This process allows the dog’s personality to come out just as her dogs have had their own distinct character quirks from her Beagle, Mountain Cur, Pit bull to most recently her Portuguese Waterdog named Pearlaso.
