Okay guys sculptures 47 and 48 on the way to 50.
Anyway here are the two additional snails from my collection. I know the pictures are terrible.
This guy is 5 feet tall and made from a bicycle wheel, two lids from scented candles, piece of PVC pipe, an old iron crow-bar, two marbles, to lamp finals, two crystals, and some scrap metal.
While this little guy is mounted on a trophy base (a ts find), the "shell" was cut from the most horrible table lamp ever, the body is a defunct windshield wiper blade, and the head uses two crystals from a chandelier.
Hope you enjoy these garden critters.

| Love the tall small, he's going for the tender stuff up top!! Well, the lamp might have been a dud but your snail sure isn't, nice save! And crystal eyes to boot!! Jan |

thank you Robert fo rposting your page. It was so much fun to look at your amazing art again.
If you have talked about the auction or selling it, I missed it. I'm wondering how it went?

So many unique and wonderful things are made by Robert,
but the snails and dragonflies have always been a particular favorite of mine. If I lived near him, I'd be over there begging him to sell me some, and probably a lot of other stuff. LOL. I love Robert's creations and admire
his many talents. hugs, Karen |
