We have the traveling penguin sculpture !
The story begins. . . *more to come*
The sculpture suffers a grievous injury. . . *again, more to come*
After considering all options, (bubble gum, baling wire, and duct tape), sculpture has been returned to the artist for repairs.
*snow storm*
*second attempt*
*pick up*
The upshot is. . . Larry McCaffrey is a wonderful artist and a fabulous human being. I am fixin' to go pick up the sculpture in Sequim now as he has been good enough to repair it without charge and has just been wonderful to deal with during the whole thing.
I am honestly not trying to make this a blog about ads, but. . . I do think it's important to share stories of things that go right as well as stories of coulis. *grin*
The gallery website features artists on the homepage and has an artists' tab or Larry's work can be found here.

Sooo ... whatever happened to damage that wonderful sculpture in the first place? Pray tell!
*blushes bright red*
I was gently and tenderly moving it to a safer location when it broke. :(
P.S. Yes grabbing it by a penguin neck is considered gently and tenderly. Please give the artist a big hug and possibly a smack on the ass for me as a HUGE thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.P.S. I promise to never touch anything in your home ever again (except pets and food).
P.P.P.S. I touch pets v. gently.
No worries -- the penguin has been moved to higher ground and you have been assigned to Bix duty during your holiday stay. Touch her v. gently.
P.S. She smells *soooo* good right now.
Does Sam count as pet or as food?
