Seraphim angels are extremely popular collectible items. Ranging in size from small pins for lapels to figures several feet tall, they often feature flowing gowns, beautiful golden or brown locks of hair, rosy cheeks, hands and feet, and, of course, the signature feathery wings. You can give them to your family and friends, collect them to beautify your home, or buy and sell them on the secondary market as a profit-making venture.
Making a seraphim angel as a long, arduous, exacting process. The art form requires loads of patience and skill, and a steady hand. Seraphim angels are usually made of porcelain, porcelain bisque, or resins.
To begin, a master sculptor first designs an angel as a two-dimensional sketch. He then submits it to his distributor for approval. After a design has been decided upon, the master sculptor begins work on the three-dimensional clay sculpt. This is the most "artistic" phase of the process, wherein the artist gets to create all the highly personal details of the angel.
Once the final clay sculpt has been approved by the distributor, a mother mold is carefully made of silicone. The clay sculpt is destroyed in that process. From the mother mold a master mold is made out of hard epoxy. A few molds are then made from this master mold. A team of highly trained artisans then set to work using the molds to reproduce the sculpt in porcelain, supervised the entire way by the master sculptor. Experienced detail painters then apply all the color and details to the figurines. In the case of most high quality figurines, the master sculptor inspects each finished product to ensure perfection.
Many seraphim angels are limited editions, making them a rare aesthetic commodity and elevating them to the level of collectible art.
