Behind the reeds, near the river bank, Leda meets the disguised Zeus. Fascinated, she gazes down at the swan. Leda sits with flowers in her hair. She is made entirely from pages of the Zeus/Leda story. The swan's wings are made from individual feathers, sculpture together to give depth and texture. The waves of the water and reeds surround them.

These go along with the Wizard Of Oz book sculpture. They were a commission piece. Originally, the client only wanted the slippers done, but I went a little crazy and did a whole scene. But, as promised, did the slippers as well.

This listing is for the angel wreath only.

This wreath is about 17 inches round. It is made from the pages of a hymnal from the 1800's. The angel in the center of the wreath is also made from the hymnal pages and holds a trumpet.

The pages are fixed to a light weight foam board backing with attached hanging hook. The whole wreath weighs less than 1 pound. Because of the age and free standing position of the pages, this wreath is fragile. It is finished with a UV coating to protect it from sun and moisture, but I would not suggest hanging it outside.

Side note, yes, I'm very aware this is very close to my original pirate ship. But, that first one got a lot of attention and sold very quickly to a friend, so I figured I'd give it another go. I've tried to keep true to the story with the design of the ship and not go too "piratey".

Tom Sawyer and Huckelberry Finn set sail in this book sculpture. The sculpture is made from a 1946 publication of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer".
