Took my breath away - I love the conkers and the amonite. I love gardening as well and those scuptures look so beautiful in the natural settings. Absolutely stunning !!
ReplyDeleteI am partial to garden art, my father was a welder and he always made such fun and unusual things for my mums gardens. We often had people stopping and wanting a closer look...he really was an artist in many ways.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing Vicki, you brought back a few fond memories of my Papa.
