The top sculpture is really an old and new sculpture. The top part [head and shawl] are from a sculpture I did a few years ago. The bottom part, the skirt, is new. The old skirt was made out of alabaster stone. However, alabaster is a very soft stone and degrades if it is outside. I wanted to move the sculpture into the garden so I made a new skirt out of concrete. The new skirt, much longer, made it a new sculpture! I like it in my new garden.
The tortuga has legs, a head and a tail! I made the turtle shell my first year in sculpture. The shell sat on alabaster stones shaped to look like a head, tail and legs. However, the sculpture had been outside and the stones were beginning to crack. I made new legs, head and tail out of bronze and my instructor welded them to the shell.
The gargoyle and totem animal were assignments in my mold making class.
