| Well... it took me a long time, but I finally created Man to go with Woman. (I created woman first, ha!)
He will lose a couple inches in height (eeek) when he is moved off the rolling wheels pedestal. I also bashed his right hand into the back of her head when wheeling him into place (double eeek) and am not sure I can fix that as he is really past the "add-on" stage in curing. Hope their nekkidness isn't offensive to anyone, we are all created nekkid afterall. The bases are concrete with rebar that extends up into the bodies. Arms are rebar, head too, surrounded by hardware cloth. Then the armature bodies are filled with concrete. The outer layers hypertufa. He will cure to the same pale grey shade she is. Wylee

| Wylee it has been so long since you posted, welcome back. I love your nekkid couple. About how big are they? I think you should still be able to fix his hand. Perhaps if you moisten it well with an admix you can add on to him.They are an awesome couple,good to see one of your cool creations. Cindy |

| Wylee, They are wonderful and so carefree out in the garden. I like them lots! Dena |

| Makes me feel better about my skinnydippin' here at the farm. They are a marvelous couple and we all want to see more of them (views I mean). And remember...if the good Lord meant for people to run around nekkid...they'da been born that way! Nice work! |

| They have such presence! My favorite is the female form; you can just picture her whole personality from this one pose. Laura |
|

|
| Love seeing your work again Wylee! But I didn't realize that my ex-boyfriend's picture of he and myself got into some sculptor's hands! Oh my!! Mardi Gras 1999...can you throw a few beads around her neck please? :) |

| Here are a few more photos that I took today. My new camera arrived at Christmas... I still haven't learned how to use it. :( Went around the yard today and snapped a bunch of photos, most of them out of focus. Ah well, live and learn. I uploaded them at the link below. If you click on a photo it should open it bigger... that does not mean it will be in better focus however. ;) Wylee |

| Wylee, I really enjoyed looking at all your pictures. Of course loved the nekkid couple, and all the grots, the stepping stone path etc. Oh, and of course the masks,lol. Keep sharing your fun projects. Cindy |

| The photos you took of your latest couple look like they might actually be dancing (can't you just see them "dancing in the moonlight" then going back to their original poses before the sun rises?) I think the thing I saw that made me think "What a cool idea!" was your grot head supporting the birdbath. Thanks Wylee! You are very talented and your yard and garden look like a fun place to spend some time. Jo |
