Being different! ?

 

I'd say you'd achieved that ☺️

 

No problems there then NP!

 

You have not got a black heart, Leigh!!!

 

All of your work is fantastic and the snarling lion is amazing. Good to see the faces spouting water once again. Are they the same ones that looked so amazing all iced up?

 

You are very clever NP in many ways. The dogs and your mum appreciate your hard work to get this up and running. I love the mask to cover the piping.

 

Great thanks Nosey, don't have much spare time, but that is a good thing! I come on here quickly to catch up and try to read blogs, ha ha. I am very pleased that you are back too. x

 

I love it, Lol x

 

I just love that tree planter Nosey, clever you, it's fantasic, I can see that you have been working very hard to restore everything, it all looks amazing.

 

I adore brick man Nosey, yet another brilliant sculpture by yourself. I bet your Mum is rather pleased.

 

I am quite sure she is well pleased, Leigh!

 

Thanks for explaining that, Leigh. I am in awe of your mastery of all the techniques you use in your constructions.

 

Very clever aren't you, I bet your Mum is thrilled to bits with her water feature, its unique, all the more special as its been designed and constructed by you, the dog likes it as well, I have water features, birdbaths and waterbutts that our dogs and cats drink out of, they prefer the rainwater.....
We called that French Knitting Steve, used to spend hours doing that during the winter months, lol....

 

Snoop that took me back - I was no good at knitting with needles but produced quite long ropes through a cotton reel - you couldn't do it through modern ones.

 

Celtic Britain has close relationship with Green Man. I think you know, what I am talking about, it was popular in English gardens in 18th and 19th century. This brick face reminds me that and seeing green doors - I would probably paint him dark green, lol.

 

Terrific work, with a handsome brick man supervising everyone :))

 

I like the dog, he was evidently "mentally involved" in your activity :-) Is it that sort of dog which was used for guarding monasteries in Tibet? Somebody close to me have this dog and they look friendly on a first sight, but in fact they are very sharp.

 

Fabulous, Leigh! I love the brick man, and I think all your concrete sculptures are intriguing. They give such character to your garden. I love your black wall. How did you construct that?

 

Very clever you certainly have a very good talent for design ideas too, love the brick man good idea. It has made a great water feature very unique. We'll done, you are keeping yourself very busy, good to have a hobby, wish I was artistic although I am quite good with a pair of knitting needles as long as I have a pattern to follow. Lol and that keeps me busy when I am not gardening.

 

Thanks for explaining that Leigh, it's great.

 

Really like the brick man - you are so clever. And the pooch enjoys it too!

 

I love Brick Man! :)) where does the water come from Leigh? Is it an indoor tap, or a pump?

 

That's really good. I bet your mum's pleased to have it working again. It's just the right height for your dogs.

 

Wow, that is so special, well done Noseypotter, great to see the finished pond and the surrounding planters and seating area, so different and that is what makes it so special, love it all. Glad you are feeling back to how you should feel, great art work sure it must help you to keep in a good frame of mind. So very clever keep up the good work and congratulations on the fundraising efforts for the charity. I will look forward to seeing the hand when it is finished. Don't take on too much all in one go you will wear yourself out - good luck with it all.

 

That's a scary thought NP.. keep 'em coming!
Next concrete head you make please will you do a happy one? Its great to hear you are feeling really positive again.

 

:)) well, you did a fantastic thing donating that to charity. Good on you! :)

 

It is brilliant, but I have to say Leigh..your paintings are worth more than that. I hope you've taken prints!

 

It's all looking really good. You must be pleased to get the garden how you wanted it finally. I can never seem to achieve that. In my mind I know what I want an area to look like, but when I do it, it never quite looks like I had envisioned it! I will never give up though as I am enjoying the process and will get there eventually. The pond will look good with the fog and at least the seating will be very comfortable for you. Well done on raising £300.00 for a worthy cause, that's brilliant!

 

Oh My !!!!!!
Thats so you Np, pleased you have it sorted in yourself and your garden, the idea of the fog maker has conjured up some quite eerie pictures in my imagination, along the same lines as Karen actually, I have to say I love the stump planter and had a chuckle at the thought of you sitting in wet concrete to get the seats right...LOL.
Always a pleasure to see your artwork and of course your wrinkley friends.....

 

Actually, the planter is amazing! Too much to take in all at once lol! Very glad to hear you're feeling well - hope the back doesn't get you down too much :-)
