Now in plaster, Kathy’s busts, usually in cast concrete giving a dark grey hue, are now much paler. These perfectly detailed subjects and with ” interesting ” additions, like tower bridge, tower of london make them extremely desirable and a “must have” for the interior projects I have at hand. Go to Kathy’s site to see the whole collection http://www.kathydalwood.com/Jan/busts.html
Hi Carol,
Thanks for posting my plaster busts and so glad you like them! I’ve really become addicted to making them and wherever I am always on the look out for crazy objects to adorn their costumes and headgear. I’ve become increasingly interested in historical figurative sculpture over the last few years – and by making these I’m hoping to get other people to look at this kind of sculpture again. I reckon it’s been out of fashion for a long time so it’s interesting to re-visit it, adding a contemporary spin.
I love your interior design projects and great use of colour!

You are most welcome Kathy, you work is magic!! I hadn’t realised until I read you blog post on making moulds, that you actually made the hats and decoration, that’s incredible. Hope you dont mind but I have added you to my blog roll.
Delighted to be on your blogroll Carol! you are mine too – blogging is such a great way to meet people! Would love to show you the work in reality so hope you might be able to fit in a studio visit sometime (Queens Park, NW6)
