Thx Kortalouche darling for reminding me it was my turn! :) Now, show me a statue guys!! Any kind of statue! This one is Nelson Mandela's bust. It's HUGE!! Shot in London about 3 weeks ago! :)

Oh my!! What a POV!!! LOL!! Love the shot and the toning!! And also that kind of "naive" art, with very simple lines, exaggerated features!! This one looks like a fertility goddess of some sort. Kinda common to many cultures, woman represented with HUGE breasts and VERY curvy! Did u participate in the marches???

Great idea Pascalou! And great head shot of Mandela da Man! Brian, that sculpture is not the only thing made out of stone right now, thank you very much. ;] I agree with Pas that it reminds me of a fertility goddess. Great shot and angle. I regret that all I have to add is this naughty little gnome.

ROFLMAO@Kort!!!!!!!!!!!! U're so cheeky!!! LOL!!! And u know what! As silly and ugly as these garden gnomes are, I love them!! And I have no idea why!! O_o Oh well!

OK!! Heres "Proud" made by me :) Quite similar to Tedzies :) Puss & Kram

U did this?? WOW!!! Even better!!! Fantastic!! I love sculpture so much!! I'm always amazed at how someone can actually extracts shapes and curves and traits out of a piece of stone/bronze/marble and so on!! I totally admire Camille Claudel's work!! Would love to see more of these Modesty! wink

U can check my "Artwork"/"sculptures" on Modesty.just.nu I have some pieces there, I think...... At the moment Im working on a big one :) "BuddaMammon" silly "working name"..but...I have my doubts bout religion & I sertainly have doubts...bout money/and greed..... "BuddaMammon" represents "greed" and its a big fat person swallowing everything in its way.......Im going to let 'ya know how he "develops" LOL!!! P&K

oh Pascale i love your statue there its beautiful..and all the rest too ok let me go see what i have ...

Ohh statues with niftey photo angles. I'll try to tackle this one. BUT no one said it had to be a stone statue or a large one so I'll post a curvey one instead. Bsteph

OK not sure who this is, but he sure is a hunk! The statue itself reminds me of Tom Selleck! :-P

Vancouver's history as a city has its roots in what was a tiny settlement nicknamed Gastown. The name Gastown came into use because a Fraser River pilot turned saloonkeeper with the name Capt. John 'Gassy Jack' Deighton was in 1867 the first settler on the site from which Vancouver was to evolve. (In Victorian times the term 'to gas' referred to talking a lot, something which Captain Deighton had become famous for.)

Vancouver?? U live in Vancouver Doug??? Why on earth did I think u lived in the States!? O_o

I know you are new to this ovag....so I will explain....we only have one upload each member per Simon Says Thread. Somehwere I will dig up the original guidleine of it. One reason is because these can get really lengthy, and then many people cannot see the threads if thier connection is slow. W try to be fair to all.

Sorry I didn't know... I've deleted the second... Thank's for your explanation ! Olivier.

Those are really cute smiles. I like.

I captured this statue during a business trip to New Orleans, in June 2001... Sorry for the poor quality : actually it is a scan of a printed photography... I can't stop thinking of the people over there, victims of Katarina... Sorry also, Pascale, for entering so late into this "Simon says"... I really would like to have more time to participate in the Forum activities... may be next winter... Hugs to you all ! :~)
