apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i think i might use them as book-ends, assuming they're the ones on the back of the toilet in the first picture. this way, they're being put to use, they're visible, but they're not sticking out like a sore thumb. i think the style of them is something that would clash with the rest of your place IF you try and use them too seriously.

I wish I owned more statuary and I cherish what I have. There is a small, circular statue on my dining room table (in place of a candleholder I suppose. You can see it at http://onegrandhome.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/diningroom2-0082.jpg . My poor African sculpture is always wandering around the latest apartment in search of a real, fixed place to live. I'm not quite sure why. My head of Buddha is the focal point of my living room and has always had an exalted place. I'm actually affixing a stainless steel sculpture to my bedframe and I keep some sculptural objects peeking out from under my bed, which you can see here http://onegrandhome.wordpress.com/2009/09/14/the-perfect-spot-for-a-dream/ . I love eccentric placement of statues but I really am not a fan of the top-of-the-toilet tank placement. Just too seemingly unhygienic.

i'd put them on steel display shelves. one small shelf for each piece.

I'm a part-time sculptor so there are always pieces sitting around in various stages of completion. I keep the top shelf of one bookcase for nearly completed work and sit smaller pieces on bookshelves. I have two small glass cases (one is a recycled doll's case with a mirrored back) to display sculptures. I frequently trade work with other artists so I rotate the work displayed every month or two so I can enjoy all of them can be enjoyed.

Oops. Sorry about the repeat. Did I mention that I really enjoy my sculpture collection? :-)

I'm sorry. But the two in the first photo look like poop.
