Getting off to a cracking start in 2013 with this new creation in the ‘Thinking Inside the Box’ series.
The Gastrapoda Phoenix lays it’s single egg inside a cage just before it bursts into flames at which point the chick emerges almost immediately. After several weeks the chick’s legs are long enough for it to be [...]

I’m sensing a theme.
This is the interior of my shed …
This is the top sheet of a pile of paper that I keep on my desk …
I’ve heard that doodles are meant to show the interior of your mind.
The word ‘mess’ comes to mind.
I’m sure that Lo, she is a terrible Goddess will agree.
Anyhoo, must [...]

… well, actually a spider plant climbed up onto the edge of the pond.
I’ve been cutting up tin cans and an old copper hot water cylinder adding some micro-bore pipe and an iron wheel that was found many years ago and then soldering them all together.
Lo, she is a terrible Goddess hasn’t seen this yet [...]

Making ‘stuff’ is really quite interesting.
This is made from 50 grey pebbles picked up from the beach at Pett Level. I had intended to wire them together and put the whole object into one of my wire boxes. This proved to be impossible. Lo, she is a terrible Goddess suggested gluing them onto cloth or [...]

I’ve been having a trial run for my ‘Shed Load of Stuff’ that will be showing on the Stade at Hastings, England on the 18th of August.
This has taken place in bedroom five at the Cliff Top Residence.
Lo, she is a terrible Goddess isn’t that chuffed … apparently I’ve restricted access to her drawers. I [...]
Now that I can cheerily swing a cat in the old shed I’ve been able to start on my next round of magnificent, meaningful and marvellous sculptures.

Warning – this work of art needs watering.
May the shed of your dreams, in whatever form, lighten and brighten your weekend.

…… it’s about time that new avid readers were exposed to one of my sculptures.
This magnificent ‘thing’ is called Punk Rockers ……. I do hope you can work it out for yourselves. Made from lead, galvanised nails and lumps of marble from Portugal that remind me of brains. I have no idea where this is [...]
…… for a whistle stop tour of the garden.
Well that didn’t take long did it ………
…….. and now another sculpture.
Hippy Chair – interesting but completely useless.
OK, you can go now ………. bye bye …… *waving*

We went for a walk the other day – I won’t tell you where it was as it’s secret.
It’s about 10 minutes drive from the Cliff Top residence.
There are loads of these left over from last year………
……….. the new ones will be starting to grow soon.
This is my version made out of a pebble, screws, [...]
Hopping Mad by Daddy Papersurfer – the poem, not the lovely sculpture which is by David Kemp.
“The Wellington boot is a wondrous invention!”
I yelled as I hopped down the lane
“But if I had two, the extra protection
Would let me be normal again.”
