The elephant made it to its permanent home. Looks much better than in the workshop waiting!

Off goes Mr Elephant. Going to his permanent home. 1/8inch plate steel. The client asked for the paint. On to the next project.

Been having fun with my newest sculptures. Here's the shoes made from 1/8 inch steel plate to match her shoes. The shoes were important to the client as she's a marathon runner. I think they turned out pretty good.

It's so nice to see my sculptures so proudly displayed. Thank you to the owner for adding to the beauty.

My latest Sculpture. I still have some details to add to the face. Going to a private collector. I hope to deliver it sometime next week. A blend of rust and stainless. A little more challenging to get the belly of a steel raccoon to bend around a steel tree branch.

My Buffalo and Calf sculpture was purchased by the Urbana Park District and has been installed at Meadowbrook Park.

They chose a perfect location on the prairie with natural wild plants.

Thank you to everyone.

Another new sculpture makes its debut at Wandell Sculpture Garden. Find out more about "Life on the Prairie" at: bit.ly/3hJUTpa

A few pictures of the completed sculpture and for my artist friends some "How-its-made" pictures.
It's made using 3/8" steel rod that is heated, hand-formed and welded.

Two sculptures that I made last summer. The horse I made just to have a project and the Native American Woman was commissioned as a companion piece.

Here is a picture of the 7ft "Street Musician". I thought I needed to make a rabbit since I bought a "Hare" to much rebar when I was making the Buffalo. Standing beside the rabbit is my granddaughter when she was 7! As you can see even rabbits have to stand on their head to get their tail finished. Mr Rabbit hung around the shop until a few months ago when he was purchased by a private collector with a sense of humor similar to mine.
