I'm so excited, I finally got my sculpture that I commissioned. My aunt, who is an artist, had mentioned that she wanted to get her husband, a former shop teacher who can fix anything, to start doing his own art, specifically metal sculptures. I immediately suggested that he could make me a garden sculpture. I decided I wanted something reminiscent of a Solomon's Seal (Polyganatum biflorum), so I emailed them this drawing.
(This demonstrates quite clearly why my medium is plants.)
My aunt drew up a design inspired by my drawing, and my uncle built it. This is what it looked like when they brought it over.
(It's four feet tall.) It has already begun to acquire an attractive rust patina.
Thanks, Uncle George!
