Just a few pictures of the creative process . . .
The Garden Chicks' Sculptures are one-of-a-kind pieces and all hand-sculpted in concrete. They’ve learned to custom mix cement with different materials to make it stronger and easier to work with, using different colors and textures for different applications . . . enabling them to make some pretty interesting creatures!
This cat was made by Valerie because she decided it was time she had a pet.
It stands about 18" tall and is not for sale and will probably NEVER be repeated.
"I was afraid it would not balance upright - it has only two legs - and making it in five curing sessions presented an ongoing balancing act - you can't go back with concrete. But somehow I got lucky and it sits firmly and happily in my living room. . . . never complains and is so easy to take care of -- my kind of pet!"
