This playfull little dog has the remains of a bicycle saddle for his head, while his body includes an old animal trap amonst other things. He stands astride a small cannon ball in anticipation of a game.
The backbone of this dog is the main frame from an early ox-drawn plough, and the largest two prong fork form his front legs. His ribs first saw service as a set of shire-horse shoes. He would be the ideal fireside pet if he could only fetch sticks...
I thought it was about time I had a rooster of my own, so I made a base from a large wheel which had been salvaged from a sluice gate, added a hollow log and then created a 'boss' rooster to preside over the rest of the animals in the yard. He stands two metres tall and was finished in June 2009.
