“Spring” a homemade marble sculpture built over a chicken wire mesh on a copper pipe & copper coupling armature with grass & moss & flowers (artificial), gold finish with real gold powder mixed with resin al fresco applied, & fibre optic whiskers…by Sari Grove
I love the sculpture.
You are such a sweetheart! After all this time making it, I ended up giving it to my mother who absolutely loves it too! Yesterday was Mother’s Day & tomorrow is her birthday, & somehow it seemed like the right decision…It keeps it in the family & it’s better than being in a show- she has so many visitors, it will get seen more…Thank you so much for writing…Sari
Give my regards and the best wishes to your Mum and Happy Birthday to your Mum as well.
