Low Rent Renaissance

This is a two sided effort that stands about 8 ft. tall, made from a treated 4x4 post covered with hardware cloth and chicken wire. I've been using a mortar recipe that includes sand, clay dust, portland cement, builder's lime, joint compound, and asphalt emulsion. I used exterior wood stain to color it. 

  I made another piece with the idea of "blues cats." I wanted them more expressive. The standing figure is about 11 inches tall, and both are made with Super Sculpey over copper and aluminum wire. The gutiar is luan and balsa wood, tooth picks, and thread. Mounted on a pine base.

  The standing figure is about eleven inches tall. The figures are made of Super Sculpey over copper and aluminum wire, the guitars of luan, balsa wood, toothpicks, and heavy duty thread. Mounted on a pine base stained to dark walnut. So enjoyed making this.
