Last one before Christmas


This was a tricky one, not only having one unwilling participant - which did create one of the more interesting hand casts I've done, although a lot of work - this project involved a lot of misinformation and secrecy and smokescreening after one of the children let the cat out of the bag! All part of the job!!!
Collected on Christmas Eve, this beautiful piece was mounted on a gorgeous piece of yew (which I didn't want to part with) and the casts were fixed with polished lengths of rebar - from a family member, just to add that small personal touch.
Rebar - great for concrete reinforcement, not great as an artistic medium - it is very tough!!!
Thankfully, the recipient of this surprise loved every detail about it, job well done.
