Garden AUg 2011 Unfinished statue

Wow, Pixi! He looks fantastic! What materials are you using?
Garden all looking fantastic too, btw!

All the the worng ones lol..Mod roc to make cast..expanding foam and postcrete mix cheap and avaiblae to me..all I could have..it should be ok in the end I hope lol..hope there are no sculptors in here haha :)

Lol! :)
That should work okay, I think! Are you going to finish it with a sealant?

Lol I thought who's this leaving a message..nice new pic!
Yes i will have to seal it. Be while before its at that stage lol..its all taped up jsut now as we jsut attached to arms today.then It sgoing to hav e a shirt on..one prob I see is the the body wasnt put far enough into the legs! Rick's fault lol I told him! But hopefully when the shirt goes on it wont look so odd, and I have to cut down the shoulders a bit more..he looks like he's got no neck lol. :)

I like it Pixi, but I am still in love with your secret door:)

Wow!! what an amazing sculpture Pix, he's fab, can't wait to see him finished. Oh why do we have to live at opposite ends of the country...........but there again, I reckon you an me would get into all sorts of mischief!!

Nice!! I was hoping you would post a pic of the statue! Am sure it will be amazing once completed!!

Thanks Nana ...make one! Its not hard..I did it lol. :)
THanks Lulu..yes you could have helped me! lol I bet we would hahaha ;))
Thanks Lil..not the proper way but hey it might work..its fun doing it anyway :)

Lol! I quite like his proportions...the short neck makes him look stoic and content, leaning on his fork in his garden! :))

Can we give him a name? (you might have already done this)
Hows about something nice and butch and in keeping being a statue/sculpture, I suggest "Rocky"

I'm pants at making statues!

Lol Karen! :)
He has a name Kfunsters..Rick2 lol after Rick 1 :)
Well Ive only mad one sculpture before Lulu and a papier mache farmer lol when I was at college..need to see if I can find that pic it was hilarious! His arm felll off night before exhibition so he had a sling on lool! :)

Looking great so far Pix...well done...:))) garden looking fab still....:))

:) Thanks Sue :) Not so much colour now tho :(

He's great, Pixi ... will he always be the guardian of the shed ... or will he be moving around from time to time? ... I'm a great fan of your secret door too ... love it! :o) .. . . .

You've got a lovely garden. I like the little door :o)
The sculpture will look great when it's done. Are you going to leave it there ?

Fantastic Pixi what a sculpture! Looks like yul brynner so real :)))))-

love your plants choisia plant I think is great - and red robin, that ivy wall is amazing I do love that very much - doing a grand job Pixi :))))))))))))))))))

Thanks Shirley..Thats his resting place lol..he is way to heavy to be moved now..so have to work on him there..not easy was he is pretty close to the shed. I planted the new CLematis jsut beside him so it will grow arond the back of it and may through his legs lol! :)
THanks Mr Hywel..yes I think that secret door was a good idea..so much better thana boring wall eh? Yes he will stay there i think. :)
lol Paul he does loook quite like Yul Brynner! The end of his nose and tip of ear fell off so they have to be fixed aswell as finishing off everything else..will take a few more weeks I would think depending on the weather!!!!!
Thanks :)))))))))))))

:)))))))))))))))))))))

:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

lol

Hehehe ;)

Is the new Clematis still flowering strong Pix...sounds good having it behind Rick 2....
We had rain like you wouldn't believe last night, and the wind to go with it...it blew my big Sunflower over, luckily it didn't come out of the ground, so I pushed my spade in behind it...to hold it up...The Season is definitely changing....

Yes it is Sue! its so pretty will look good there. :)
We had a deluge of rain this morning but for now the sun had come out again.....for now...

No Sun, but no Rain...thank goodness...
