Monday's Critters
For the next few weeks, some new images - but of other images rather than live animals. The decals are all from the walls of the Ashworth Laboratories building at the Edinburgh University campus, which was opened in 1929. The decals (or plaques) were a commission from the sculptor, Phyllis Bone. The animals were first modelled in clay and the models then cast in artificial stone to make the seventeen plaques which decorate the exterior of the building.

I look forward to seeing more of these medallions! He's a real cutie and a critter is a critter whether he's stone or alive
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine this kind of thing being done on buildings today, and more's the pity.
ReplyDeleteLike Sandra, I look forward to seeing more. This one is so well done.
ReplyDeleteSo real!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love the monkey decal. I was watching a show "Escape to the Country" and they showed how similar animals decals were made. Take care, enjoy your day! Wishing you a happy new week!
