I knew about the mosaic but had no idea the other sculptures were being made. This is some amazing work! I'm glad i was able to help. It was really cool looking at the 'how they were made' pictures. I especially likes seeing the pictures of the (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.events, FTX)
