Here is the whole sculpture put together and photographed. It was a bear to move. I tried to make it so it would break into 2 or three parts. The bolts and nuts will come out but the pieces wouldn’t separate. So, I am going to remove the connectors and weld it back into one piece. It still needs a protective coat of paint on the rebar. The stainless steel leaves should be OK in the weather. We learned a great deal. A bobcat (you know the one you use to lift things not the one that bites you in the ass) is on our wish list because, damn!
