firstly all the people who did the open garden including myself got well over £4500 for the hospice though i sprained my ankle unbenone to me strangly enough getting my garden ready etc but that will heal.so thats great i think and getting better every year so thats great to.i gave 10 tiger prints to the mayeress for her charity so thats great to i think.she in turn said she would like a sculpture in thetfords public gardens for nothing but im not botherd as its not about the money realy and its an honour i think.im going to do a pair of writs/hands holding either a piece of wood or if i can a giand sandwich as a seat.ie the hands will stick out of the ground and hold said sandwich or wood lookalike dependinding on how much of my insanity im aloud to let loose lol.its behind the big thomas pain statue in kings gardens wear everyone gets married so cant weight.ill get my nephew to do all the hard work bless him.cant weight.i mite do a love seat with hands in an s shape that mite be better.knowing me bye the time i do it it will be something completly different lol.ideas are welcome.
ive had to rebuild my planter because of a mistake with the cement,frost and to make it blanche proof as she took to digging in it.blanche being my little pug x chiwowa excuse my terrible spelling lol.i had to do the hole elephant again as my idea didnt work for a chimnea and the crack that the fire started was finished bye the winters frost.ill probably put just a little charcoal for effect lower but maybe not.i did my modern fossils as i like to call them at the base as im going to let the dogs in there now and have made it digging proof.if you cant beat them join them as they say.i was given some glass beads and they litteraly just finished it of around my plants.im having some big changes but ill leave them as a surprise lol.
the property ladder programme with my green man is on the 30th of june now instead of the 7th of july at 8pm channal 4 which means you just mite see it amy.dont worry i am doing your elephant at the guildhall as an exerbition and ive bean busy but looking good.my art teacher said it was as good as god or otherwise known as sir david shepherd who i admire a lot .not sure i agree but it means it must be fairly good.
ps anybody interested in the origional picture drawn bye yours truly can have it for £200 and give £50 of this to a charity of your choice ok.it must be worth more now you can say as seen on tv lol and that will double if i kick the bucket lol.

Now I see where the taily skulls fit: nice abstraction. Did you use real leaves to cast the modern fossils? Or carve? The fatsia leaves you have (I think) would make nice impressions. Here Taro leaves and monstera (cheese plant) are used as molds for for fountains/ birdbaths. Is there enough root room for the trees or will they break up the cement do you think?
13 Sep, 2009
theres plenty of room for the trees but who knows realy if they will break the cement.it will just add to it if they do.the leaves are just impressions and ive used fatsia they do look good.its whats on the under side of the leaf that counts realy.glad you like it
