Sunflowers Installed...Client So....Happy!!!!!

Hi Everyone,
Delivered the Sunflower pieces last night and had to leave them with the doorman. My client and newly acquired friend managed to get them up to her apartment and install the large one herself. I'm totally impressed. She loves art and is a wonderful and patient client. Here's one piece at it's home. Her cats love it, she says they cant stop rubbing against it. (I guess my studio must have some mice running around!)

Thanks...I really forgot the total measurement. But the faux wall I built is in my studio and the dimensions are on it. i think,it's about 74" tall. The leaves were toatlly meant as shelves . She has a collection of "artifacts". One day she dreams of having a house that she can really show off her collection. A wonderful person. janet R.

The smaller piece is free standing. The larger piece has one screw plate which is under the leaf which is bolted into the wall. It does free stand but it's alittle top heavy. She has cats and I know they will attempt a climb sooner or later. Anyway it's safer bolted to the wall. Janet

Congratulations on a successful commission. The shelf looks great. A good blend of the cute and your flair for the contemporary. A great job. Smart to anchor it to the wall. Limits liability as well.
