red heads

You've made some very original seating for your garden....at the beginning of your blog/photos I was wondering how it was all going to come together. But all became clear....and they look wonderful. The artwork is darn good too!

thank you so much whistonlass x x .

Hya Leigh you sure are talented, the seats are brilliant and you've taken years off Jerry, come to think of it you look pretty smart on that bike too ! x

brilliant but i have come to expect that from you :o)

Love that bike. Hairdressing as well as everything else you do, what a talented man you are.

ironic i did a reasnable job of jerries hair when i havnt got any hair lol .
glad you like my seats thank you so much xx .
i love my bike but not as much as jerry bless him . he looks like a young adult if you squint your eyes lol not bad for an old boy i dont think lol .

What a great idea, I love your red heads :-)))

The expressions are great! Maybe just a little too close to the smelly feet, eh?! : D

hence the expressions i guess tugbrethil lol and thanx grindle .

At the beginning I thought what a messy tangle but boy oh boy didn`t you produce the goods at the end, brilliant form once again.

Can't beat a red head, they are very good. Imagine how much they would cost at the garden centre.

The seats look good Leigh, as does Jerry and that bike lol. love the picture of Jerry (4th from the bottom) with his ears flapping in the wind although i say so myself ha ha.
And of course the makak (excuse my spelling also) looks even better with the gold frame xx

Great red head seats Leigh inspired choice! like your new transport - speedy gonzales! where is your skid lid then? bet you decorated that too lol....enjoy

all my sculptures look realy terrible like these do to start with stroller . i believe its an ugly duckling story lol .
you would say that skillen as you took that picture lol . i must admit it is a realy good picture of jerry thow lol .
the garden centres arnt interested in my sculptures even thow they are bespoke as they say . not to worry more for me littlelegs lol xx .

Brilliant blog again Np. Love the new seats, love the frowning expressions. Jerry looks wonderful. Had to have my Scamp put to sleep about 4 weeks ago, and Jerrys' pics reminded me of him. They looked so alike, especially the one of him laying down, under your drawing of him. The drawing of him is fab too. Don't know whether I've missed something on here, but how did you get on with the art competition? Haven't seen any comments. Unless like I said, I've missed it. :o))

I love the seats!!
Nice ride =)

thanx flora so much .
thank you to lindalooloo . sorry about your dog they are such a big part of your life . are you going to get another dog or is it to early . i cant do without hence having 4 dogs myself . jerry is 12 so he is an old boy thow he looks good for it and still hasnt got any gray hair unlike me lol .
as for the art competition i got a third prize for an orangutan and baby but it seamed to be so fixed as i got nothing for my jag and everyone who won also happend to be in the art club that is held there includind the first place animal drawn bye the tuter there . i wont enter again anyway glad you liked my blog take care bye for now xx .

Hi Np. Sorry you didn't get 1st in the art comp, but as you say, if the tutor won 1st it's a bit strange. Yes we do have another dog. A Welsh Springer called Mali. I did do a blog on her when we first had her. Scamp had so many health issues, that when we had the chance of a Puppy from a neighbour who was breeding them, we thought it would be a good idea, as we didn't know how much longer we'd be able to keep Scamp. He would have been 8 next month. We do have a boxer as well, called Gracie. She's about 12 now, and looking her age at the moment. Like you I've never been without dogs. I had four myself at one time. I keep saying 'no more' but they still keep coming Lol. Anyway, I think you should really have had a 1st for your art, and I hope something will turn up for you, and you'll be famous one day. Take care. x :o)

You are so clever, love the Red Heads. Love the bike too but be careful!

You never fail to amaze me with your brilliant talent NP!
Loving the Red Heads and the bike.

bless you all and thanx again . my art is just a gift realy but i enjoy it and being rubbish and cement it costs elbow greace , cement and helps the planet .as for jerry lindalooloo he has 1 little mole hes had for ages and now hes got a short hair cut it looks like a tick and im often reminded of it thow i would do the same . the only time he was ill was eating a beef rib but as he jumped out of the car it must of dislodged it and he stroled into the vets with nothing wrong with him on a call out to . i looked a right lemon but better safe than sorry .ill be carefull on my bike ish dawn lol . at my age im only going out on sunny days . im so glad i found fold away walking sticks lol .i lost merkins son at 4 and a half months which was upsetting and lost my french mastif at 4 and a half years . i never replace dogs but i dont think i can be without there company .anyway take care bye for now .

Nice to hear you'll be soft of careful on that bike Leigh. We love our pets dont we, I worry about mine all the time, just want them to be safe and well.

me to dawn there my extended family xx

Your transformation of "rubbish" and cement into "Easter" seaters (ahem) left me speechless for a while and believe me that is a rare event.

Anyway, I think they are wonderful and I think Jerry looks wonderful, if a little confused by his own identity as a dog transformed fromn a long hair into a short hair.

As for you and the motorbike, you belong together!

Keep surprising us all.

i will felinfan thank you so much xx .
jerry was full of knots as i think he may of layed on some cement somehow so i had know choice lol .

Scamp had a bad heart. He was diagnosed last christmas. he was responding to his medication, but then we had trouble trying to control the fluid buildups. The vet had already told us, he could live another couple of years, or he could have a heart attack by the time we got him home,but we took the chance anyway. The problem recently had been that the fluid had been building up in him again, so he was having trouble breathing because of the fluid in his chest. Then he turned on the youngest Granddaughter. Luckily, he didn't actually hurt her, but you can't be too careful where children are concerned, following morning, he growled at me when I spoke to him. So we took him to the vet, and after a lot of talk and tears, we decided it was kinder to have him put to sleep, as the Vet said he wouldn't get any better, he would just gradually get worse. We couldn't let him suffer any longer. x

it seams quite a common problem in dogs i think thow its a shame bless him . he was striking out just in apserlute pain . dogs dont show pain as easily as we do . cats seam to suffer from failier of there kydneys etc . for what its worth you did the right thing lindalooloo .take care bye for now xx .

Thanks Np. x

your welcome lindalooloo xx

:o))

I love the seats Leigh , but then I love any of your work :o)) Be very careful when you come over on your new bike , I wouldn't want to be patching your knees up ( I don't know though , that might be quite nice LOL.. ) I've only got one thing to say to you " Please don't bring your scissors , I don't need a haircut " :o)) xx

thank you amy im sure youd patch me up ok lol . are you sure you dont need a haircut . i do a mean poodle cut lol . see you soon hopefully xx .

Great stuff Leigh, your seats are certainly original. I have always been interested in furniture for the garden. I used to run a business alongside my horticultural business making rustic furniture, pergolas, seats, arches etc. I haven't done any for a while as it was very time consuming. Enjoyed looking at yours.

thank you so much doc . have you got any pictures of your work ? id love to see them . i wish i had a lot more land as id like to grow some of that living sculpture out of willows etc but you cant have everything i guess . anyway take care bye for now .
ps i think the heads will look better in a couple of years .

I love your red heads noseypotter makes me want to try and make a sculpture myself my dad does a similar kind of thing except he has a garden railway! What do you put inside them before you put the chicken wire around? You have inspired me i would love to have a go at making something like that. I think you should be on gardeners world or chelsea flower show with what you have made! you have an amazing talent and you should be proud of what you can do we can't all be good at art. I'm rubbish with drawing and painting but i'm good at making things. Maybe when i get some time i will make a sculpture for my garden. Not easy when you got 2 little ones! You are so lucky to be good at all art!

thanx petite babe i put rubbish inside the sculptures and normaly heavy stuff at the bottom depending on the sculpture . id love to do chelsea flower show it would be great .are your nippers not at school yet ? if not dont worry they will be in know time .if you look closley at the red heads before the cement you`l see old drain pipe and waste pipe and the blue stuff is just old plastic industrial roofing .anyone can get better at art especialy if your good with your hands . take care bye for now xx .
