Sean the Sheep

[Diggers]

Hi folks. Here's a few pics of a sheep I made last week. I started it with the intention it would be a stand-alone piece, but after I had done the back legs the guy it was made for told me it was going to be planted topiary style so I had to simplify the rest of it to allow space for the bush to grow through. Made from 10mm and 8mm round bar and it bolts together in the middle. Galvanized finish. Cheers

That's one sheep that cant run away from me, can leave the wellies at home

Love the head and body, nice work.
Small suggestion, putting the legs offset to each other by a few degrees, would make him look likely to wander off, ditto put the head as though looking off to one side.
We need follow up photos of him full of bush.

Jim, here's a photo I wasn't going to post and now its on the interweb my secret is out.
Chunko, I know what you mean about the lack of movement. Saw a piece on the news tonight about the play Warhorse and when the horse puppet was rearing up on its back legs I said to the wife thats the next thing I'm making. So hopefully my next one will look more "alive".

Diggers, are you Welsh? or Local to me?
Fnaaar fnaaarrr.
Twists and bends at knees and neck and things come to life.
I thought I had messed up a sculpture, feet on crooked and head; disaster but no, he was moving. Aaaah.

This post is quckly heading towards the gutter. And there was me thinking you were all fine upstanding people. As opposed to upstanding behind a sheep with your wellies on.Thanks for the comments guys.
