This is one of my more ecletic pieces. It is a mannequin torso I bought off E-bay. I made it different on each side because it will be displayed on a post that you pass coming and going. The only holdup is where I want to put it a big tree root has to be removed. My husband did his usual great job with the grouting.
Gosh Bethie that must have taken forever to make!!! I really like the dragonfly on the back of the torso as well as the hummingbirds on the front. I can't say it enough - you are one talented lady!!! Oh and hubby did a lovely job with the grouting. :-D
Naturally I noticed those butterflies right away -- very unusual piece. Looks like a lot of work involved. You did a wonderful job.
That's amazing Bethie. If a whole mannequin were done like that it would make one cool looking superhero, Mosaic Man How long did it take to make? // BTW I moved this to the Garden Junk forum
Haha! I would have never thought of using a torso this way - I bet it gets lots of comments from passerby who see it. Looks like a lot of hours were put into making him look good.
great art! what's it made of? ..i'm pretty sure everyone who passes by turns their head to take a look or two.
Wow, what a great piece. I love it. I have to try my hand at mosaics. I think I will start simple, maybe just a square of wood.
Bethie I've said it before I'll say it again WOW I love it.Talented lady and your hubby seems to have great talent also.
torso Now I could kick myself for not buying the mannequin torso at the thrift shop yesterday! I did however, buy an arm. Thought that would look good as a mosaic in the garden. Can't wait to get started now. If the torso is still there maybe it will have to come home with me.
