Np its absolutely brilliant , when finished and lit up at night with water coming out it will be excellent , were you self taught with this kind of art ? it is really impressive.

you realy like that fence dont you Llew .i cant weight to see water spurting out either lol but patience is a virtue as they say.well macc about 8 years ago i did an evening class of pottery.the art teacher always said i was eating the caly as in using loads as i always liked the bigger more dramatic pieces.she sad then that i should do sculpture.so the seed was sewn excuse the pun.i did a few moulds out of my work for someone who let me down but thats bye the bye .i was talking about bigger sculptures and she gave me the knowladge on how concrete sculptures could be achieved.i had an old swing from ages ago in the front garden that was concreted in.i thaught what a great arch for climers it would be .then it dawned on me how cool a big head would look so the swing was like the frame to it.i researched concrete sculpture on the net .just over 2 ears ago in febuary i asked my misses to buy me chicken wire,straw and concrete etc for my birthday and i havnt looked back.its just a pitty i had to weight till i had a bad back so late in my life before i found out i was a petential sculpter but hay ho lol

Wow! You are talented!!! What vision you have!

Maybe you were meant to have a bad back first? It maybe made you more creative as you know you can't do a lot of moving around? Well, one can try and be positive anyway, lol!!!

Interesting tale there, Nosey. As you say, shame it was such a long wait, but you're getting pleasure from it now, so it's all worth it in the end. :-)
