Happy Birthday to my Mom!

Well, I finally completed the sculpture that I planned to give to my mom for her Birthday on Friday the 25th… It took a lot of thinking, experimenting, and testing to finally get it to work the way I wanted it to. I ended up cutting about 4 inches off of each blade. It seems that there is a limit to the structural integrity of 20 gauge steel! At this size, the whole thing is pretty stable. I’ll have to see how well it works in really high winds! My mom’s house is certainly the place to test it!

Welcome to Laughlin, now go home (broke).

I finaily started today on the new sculpture I had been planning for a while. In fact, I cut the blades about 2.5 weeks ago. Here it is!

I’m in, baby!

At my mom’s encouragement, I entered one of my sculptures in to the Orange County Art Association art show in the 3-Dimensional category. Guess what? It was accepted! I got into my first art show with my second sculpture!

So we went to the opening on August 11, and there it was in all its glory! Now let’s see if someone buys it…
