THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAL

The Presidential Seal is now completed and is fashioned from real gold mosaic, this catches the light as seen from the side.

 When installed on site it should be a glittering focal point.

MORE BIG HEADS!!

Jubilee week wasn't much of a holiday for me, but that's fine as I was creating these huge heads.  All change again next week as this lot comes down and new drawings go up.


I've put a chair in front of the second photo to give an idea of scale.  These are big heads!!

Big Heads!!

Getting into the big heads now... these are 5/6 sq ft each, so quite  large.

Another exciting development is that I was clearing my mother's loft last weekend and discovered my father's original sketches for this work along with loads of photographic evidence of design details, hands, heads, Etc.
I will put them onto this blog next week, also some amazing photos of Kennedy that dad had got from American embassy.. what price these?
