Why don't you sell them Ock? They are really good. You do not see alot of steelwork art! From some of the photos I am guessing it is steel! I think it is difficult to work with, especially if you are making 3 dimentional pieces and you have done yours so well. Have you ever made a Chicken out of steel? That would be fab!

they do take quite a while to make but I don`t think I would get a lot for them, in st Ives, which is about 15 miles from me, they have loads of stuff like this in the shops but its quite cheap because its all made abroad in India and places like that where they pay them peanuts, also the shed that I was making them in has now got carpet down to keep my motorbikes all snugglely and warm :-D , so all that would catch fire while I was welding and grinding, might make a chook sometime though )t'
