Some pictures of sculptures made by a very dear friend of mine, who has since passed away. A lifelong diabetic, she was hospitalized for almost a year when she was a child, so to pass the time, her mom brought her some tools and bags of different colored pipe cleaners. That developed into a lifelong career in art and jewelry. Made entirely of pipe cleaners, her sculptures have been showcased in museums across the country. She had a special interest in dinosaurs, and being Irish, also had an affinity for leprechauns. The sculpture of a Neptune riding on the seahorse is almost 6’ tall. Gone too soon, she was an amazing talent. If you can zoom in on the Indian, check out his tool belt, some amazing work. She made the squirrel for my grandma, who loved squirrels. He still rides on the dash of my car for over 25 years now.
