Unique sculptures

I have been looking around online for unique sculptures, some for their interest, some for what they are made from.

The first three are made from chewed bubblegum.









This one is made from wood & aluminum foil



I just liked the monumental scale of this bronze sculpture.




This one is from Jeff Koonz - a unique artist who only comes up with the ideas - has artists actually make them. He loves to make sculptures of popular items like balloon animals. This huge one is made of epoxy resin.





The site was in Italian, so I couldn't read it, but it looks like this sculpture is covered in natural materials.


This one is plexiglass & light.

Nicole D.'s Cardboard Sculpture

This was up towards Washington Park, nice green background.



Church parking lot kind of by my house. I wanted to try it with a very plain background so the colors on the skull would stand out better.



Some neat-o graffiti on the back side of the Kuni BMW building. Thought the colors went well together on this one.



Cardboard Modernism Take . . . .

OK - This weekend was quite interesting. I spent 12+ hours Friday & Saturday cutting out the pieces and gluing them. After working 6 hours on Sunday the whole thing fell apart - literally.

So, I had to think, rethink and come up with a new idea.

In a odd way, it was an old idea - I took the hershey's kiss idea and melded it with the city tree idea and came up with:
