I had always wanted to make a seahorse sculpture and finally decided to create one for a coastal gallery order. The first problem was figuring out what type of seahorse to create! There are so many fascinating and stunning types, from the ornate leafy sea dragon (okay I know it's not technically a seahorse but they are very similar) to the bizarre pygmy seahorse. I finally decided to go with the spiny seahorse, also known as the thorny seahorse. Although I do think there is a zebra seahorse in my future.
