WHAT I AM WORKING ON NOW

I have recently started working on a new sculpture.  A frog sculpture.  I have done all the preperation to get the parts ready before I weld them together.  I have started welding some parts of this sculpture together.  Once I have the sculpture welded together I will take a picture of the unfinished body of the sculpture and post it here for viewing.   I am planning on painting this sculpture so look for a completed picture of this in the near future.

LATEST SCULPTURE IDEAS

This is where it all starts!  Every now and then I come up with a few ideas for sculptures.  After I get started on a basic idea, such as an animal I want to make as a sculpture, I then start building and putting them together in my mind thinking of how I can create them with found pieces of metal I might find.  This gives me an idea of what I want and need to look for and the overall picture I have in mind for the furture sculptures.  Sometimes when finding metal, I may stop and say, oh thats perfect!  My latest ideas just to run them by you are; a squirl, owl and a cat.  The cat is especially important to me because I have a wonderful cat that is turning a wopping 18 years old this july and she was very sick recently and has only started eating again and acting a little better.  I know she is very old and probably going to die soon, which saddens me greatly because this cat has been a great pet and friend to me for 18 years.  I am planning to make this one the best I can in memory of my cat.  I also was thinking of a large abstract cat sculpture at some point.  I have the idea for an elephant and a geraffe in mind too!
