I hope these photos are good enough. The sun was none too bright in my backyard. This is my tribute to 250 years and the fact that this was probably the most lackluster celebration in recent memory. I used my custom compound, cardboard, Styrofoam and newsprint. I painted the fractured gal with acrylics. It measures 11 inches tall, including base, and 8.25 inches wide from orange tip to orange tip. There are 13 shards of glass running down the nose, representing the original 13 colonies. Original Jones Art wonders what those colonists would think if they could get a look at these so-united states in the 21st Century. Yeah, he's still in northwest Austin, Texas.

Very good photographs, praiseworthy creativity Charles, and very interesting to look at.

Artist Reply: Thank you, Vernonette! Miss Liberty could have used a bit more direct sunlight, but these will do for the present. Hope you are doing well and, of course, your family also. :)

Liberty like a human also has five fingers but sharp like a knife. Judging by facial expression, 250 years is something to brood over. M0st unique piece, my friend Charles. Wishing you a most productive unstriped weekend under the peaceful stars and skies.

Artist Reply: I was actually playing off the Statue of Liberty, Nikolay. But you probably knew that. Yes, I think it's rather unique, just maybe not very optimistic. Hope you are doing great. :)

Most expressive and unique , Charles ! Striking color and well constructed ... It would be something to see all your 3d's on one table with a backdrop : )

Artist Reply: It would need to be a larger table than that old one in the backyard, Dave. Though nine or so are no longer in residence. I'm working on a new one already since my motto is make sculpture while the sun shines...and shines...and shines. Hope that basement not only gives you coolness but inspiration. :)
