Having lain awake half the night with an over-active brain, I decided to get up and work on budgets, environmental impact assessment, risk assessment, etc. etc. etc. But first I naturally have to TELL EVERYONE!!!!!!!

I gave up teaching three years ago to work fulltime on sculpture, and have been surviving by the skin of my teeth ever since. But yesterday I had a meeting in a park with all the top guys for the Parks Dept. of a local council (5 of them, I don't have a notion what most of them do, but they all seemed to have a function) and the outcome is that they want to buy my work Journey to The Celestial Mountain.

The location is fantastic - a large man-made mound in otherwise very low-lying parkland. Behind the mound is a dark wood, running up to mountains (hills, really). So the head will be right at the top of the mound, snow white against the backdrop of the dark trees. The mound was formed only a few years ago from spoil from the construction of a nearby motorway, so there will be no problems with the environmental agency. The park itself is a very prestigious one, so hopefully the work will get a lot of notice, and hopefully I'll get more sales as a result.

My Bryce renders aren't very expert, but they're what sold the work. Drawings and written descriptions could never have conveyed what the work should look like.

It will take me a week to calm down :o( (or should that be :o))
