AHHHHAAAA. For once I can help someone w/something I saved. Someone re-surfaced this site last week when PURPLE was searching for inspiration and I saved it. I LOVE this snake and, only wish I'd seen it before I started putzing around on my front walk. Can't wait to see how you use it, BIANCHI.

Forgot about GYPSIE's fabulous Blue Snake several pages back. I LOVE this snake too.
Gypsie's Snake

Slow, I thought she meant your Sneaky snake.

Oh, here are four shots of two concrete serpents - Sneaky Snake and Sassy Serpent. My DD got the yellow one. BTW I moved Sneaky to sit under Gypsie Woman and got him too close to the driveway and I ran over him. His face needs about four tiles replaced. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Oh WOW, thank you so much slowmedown. I was thinking of your sneaky snake, but doing it on separate rocks. Love yours, I dont know what you used, but it is so cool.
The other website is awesome too.
Thanks again,
Bianchi

ZOWIE!! I was thinkin' of a snake path but 3d stuff is ALWAYS my passion and now I Gotta do a Sneaky Snake!!!
THAT just gets my chi hoo hoo barkin'!!! Steps and gravel path for now, and that Snakey!!!! Maybe fangs and a hood....Or a vibrant colored one, gotta go google snakes.....

My hubby wants a 3D snake, too. I just got to figure out if I can find one around here. I doubt I could make one.

OHYESYOUCAN!!! Use the Riana wire mesh method and you can DO THIS. The serpent would be soooooooooo simple to make - a few snippets, some darts and poof a serpent made from scratch. You know what? This might be a project for a challenge. We could all make one together, show our work, ask for hints, instructions. CALAM, KLINGER, ROSIE - how about it - we could be the helpers. Who wants to take the challenge after the cans????? I soooooooo want everyone here to experience this mesh technique, and I think the serpent would be a very good way to start cuz it's a very simple shape.

OH YA!!! I'll have to learn how to use the video part of my camera..and download...and post on the web, but oh ya I'm there!!! Wish my DS was here, he's used my camera and posted himself playing guitar on Tube. Klinger's DH is a major genious at anything computer, so we sooo got it covered!!!
I did look up snakes and even just looking at pics gives me the geebies!!! I think I'll have to "invent" a species!lol!

I like this snake idea. I've been eyeing a little back shady area of my yard and gradually want to make it into a little secret garden. I wanted to make a sculpture of some sort with some mosaics to brighten up the area. A sneaky snake might be just perfect.I think it would be a good beginner project.
I've got some yard work thats on my priority list, wanna plant the rest of my seedlings and dahlias, brugs etc. Then sculpture would be a great next project. I've got all my supplies,hmmmmmmm

Oh man!!! count me in!

OK, but I plead INSANITY because I'm exhausted from this garage sale the last two days, but what the hey, I'm in for it.

A few snippest some darts and poof huh...we shall see.

Here is a snake that I thought was gigantiously awesome!!!!

Here is a link that might be useful:

Slow, I love your idea of a "teaching" exchange. I hope we do it!

Chick: I checked out her whole site! WOW! Even looked up more stuff, man, would it cost some moola to make those things!!! The galvanized wire mesh is a way more economical way of doing it I would think, but that is what we're goin' for, well maybe not that large!!!
So we are talkin' about doing this at the end of Watering Can Challenge?? I know I am needed desperately in my Yarden(new word from Garden junk side)end of June? or....

This whole wire thing?? no idea what you're talking about. But would love to learn.
Anyway, I am planning to put my snake on rocks, that I got from a nice neighbor, just like a continuing line. Does that count?
Hope there isnt a deadline, 'cause I am soo busy with gardening right now.

Even if only a few are interested, I'll start this thing when I can get to it - SOON - and there'll be no deadline. BIANCHI, your snake w/rocks sounds great, but the wire mesh is a technique CALAM, KLINGER, ROSIE and I learned in a March workshop w/Wouterina (Riana) de Raad in Puerta Villarta. I gave the instructions on a thread several pages back in March. When I get the time to start this "teaching" thread, I'll renew the instructions. It's very easy and the projects w/hold up in extreme climates. Take a look at her website.
Riana's wire mesh/concrete sculptures

That looks really interesting, thanks for the link.
Yes, that would be great to learn.
