Putting a rocket under myself...Progress!

[amberdreams]

I've pretty much finished, but can't get it signed off yet so have to wait before varnishing. It's probably just as well the rocket is sitting my brother in law's garage and not inside our house, or I'd be inclined to keep fiddling with it.

A few views in the round
The big tree with batbox, fungi and squirrel

Bats - the moon looks a bit of a mess from this angle and in this lighting but the silver does look good in the right light, honest!

Night time with bats above, hedgehog and stag beetle below

Coming round into the day time - hello Mr Squirrel. Can you see my initials? 😂

Had enough yet? Ha ha tough, because there's more.
More daytime with butterfly, robin, bug hotel, pond and pensive frog, ivy and swifts...

Fox, blackbird, sunflowers, dandelions...

Aw thanks so much. I do feel I have good ideas but my execution isn't the best — acrylics and me don't really get along. 😁

That looks so lovely! I'm especially enamored with the mushrooms and the tree's root system. <33333

The tree turned out to be my fave part, I'm glad I decided to add the fungus! 😁

It's looking really good, I love the day/night theme with the wildlife/ecology theme. And I can see your initials being carried by ants!!! :D

Hee hee yes, well spotted. I did that before on a couple of other sculptures that had lots of vegetation — I mean, why not, right?
