Welcome
to Originals by LE
Do you like horses, cats, rabbits, cows, dogs, pigs,
elephants, lions - tazmanian devils...? (more large photos soon)
Do you enjoy
storybook characters like Alice in Wonderland or the Wizard of
OZ, or classic tales like The Phantom of the Opera or
Charles Dickens characters? And what about fantasy folk, fairies, wizards and Christmas magic such as Father Christmas riding a unicorn or ostrich!
Originals by LE are hand-sculpted (one of a kind) clay miniature figurines, wearable art and dolls created by Leigh Allan since 1975.
Click links and images for close-ups
Close-up images are large so allow time to download
Photos are old but charming
still to come photos: llamas, zebras, dolphins, giraffes, monkeys, camels, ducks, swans, fairytale characters, more....
I hope you will enjoy viewing this eclectic mix of old and new.
Some photos onsite are pieces in stock and available for purchase, (indicated in the galleries), but many go back to 1975 and are shown in their full 'old snapshot glory' - blurry bits and all.
Any piece can be remade and your own ideas are always welcome.

So what's your fancy?
Fantasy, fiction, fact? Just about any theme and character you can name and many you've never thought of have been fashioned from
polymer clay into something unique - from Christmas ornaments to dolls.
In 1984 Diane Powers, owner of Bazaar Del Mundo in San Diego California, discovered a large display of Originals by LE artwork in Saks Fifth Avenue. After purchasing some pieces, she asked to take on the line for The Gallery at Bazaar and suggested that the horses, cats, zebras, giraffes, etc, which were figurines at that time, be turned into wearable jewelry and strung on multicolored beads. To this day they are the only ones of their kind.
Originals by LE art is owned by collectors and celebrities the world over.
If you don't see your heart's desire somewhere on this website but have a great idea of your own, then tell me about it, chances are I can make just what you want.
Perhaps you've wanted a custom sculpture of a loving pet with all his/ her and your
favorite things designed around it in charms and accents. Well, I've made many such treasures. Take a look here or at the photo above that says Favorite Pet.
I hope you find some inspiration here. Many thanks for dropping by.
