  1. Thank you Charlotte and phabib for those kind words . We all do the best we can given time , money & recourses . I also am guilty of looking and learning (yes it is stealing) at other artists ideas . this is not too big a crime as it drives achievement upwards . Don't rest on your laurels  you wont be at the top  too long before someone nocks you off!

  2. Thank you everyone!!!!!!   Ausfire : This time I used "Penetrol" and applied it BEFORE I allowed the metal to go rusty.

    Daswulf:    Think of your sculpture as  comprising 100 small  sculptures. FOCUS only on the(small) sculpture you are working on . So to build a  set of hands you need fingers and each finger needs 3 joints and the end of each of the last joint of each finger has a different size nail which must be separately made. Don't save any of your "good"bits of scrap for another sculpture. make each of your small sculptures the best you can using your best bits THEN when you assemble all your small sculptures into....... one experiment with different poses. something will jump out at you when you do this and it will be something you did not consider . Try this method you will be amazed at the result!

  3. Up - cycler was the latest one I herd. 

    If I'm ever coming up north I'd love to visit ( professional development for tax purposes ) 

    Just been given a commission from Vic roads for another roadside sculpture working with the aboriginal community. Tiddalic/jiddalic the frog story, hhmmm, how to make a large frog.....

    No worries,  you are most welcome to visit and stay overnight if you choose .Just bring Beer!

  4. Yes Darryl ,the site was doing that to me for a while , I found that if I logged in again I was able to post. The eyes are teeth off a road stabilising machine when I worked for local government on the roads I would ask the operator for the worn out bits Ive now got about 500 of the little fellas and yes a  very  versatile scrap item. cheers andrew
