A Nice Day Out.......

We went to a sculpture event at Borde Hill Gardens, Near Ardingly, Sussex, yesterday and with my predilection for making things out of bits of old tat that I've mangled together, I have to say I found some it quite inspiring.

This was my favourite:

Rodney Chameleon. I think he must be made of old chain saw parts. Extreme steampunk!

A stag beetle.

A samurai fighting a spider. The samurai was 7 feet tall. Look at all those layers.

There were some pretty things too. Pink flowers with copper leaves.

And this was called "Unstitched". My excitement was a little bit dampened when I finally found it on the sculpture trail!

The sculptures were made by Anvil Ironworks.
