Faerie Tales, Karen Williams Life sized old man recycled sculpture Sculptures are different from what most people think of as traditional outdoor sculpture. She works with wire & a variety of recycled material, including old jeans, t-shirts, curtains etc. The material is impregnated with a special established tried & tested resin that amalgamates & fortifies the material, which when it dries strengthens & hardens the sculpture making them suitable for both indoor & outdoor use all year round. www.faerie-tales.co.uk
