This involved making a framework from bamboo, covering the frame in chicken wire and then wrapping the frame in bandage. The resulting structure was then coated in the finest grade plaster, from which the carving was made. When the plaster is mixed it is ready to use when “flowers” appear on the surface- quite an appropriate image for an gardening event.
Alan and Chris have done a magnificent job- as this photo shows. The statue certainly has the “Wow” factor and I can only hope that the rest of the garden will do it justice.
