I am a seamstress by profession, but I have always had an artistic soul. So I decided to start an original zoo. I design the sculptures myself. My husband only helps me to create a wire structure for each figure. Then I fill the finished skeletons with paper so that they are not too heavy. Then I put concrete mass on them and moisten them with water for 3 weeks. When the sculpture is well-established, I paint it with varnish and oil paints. Work on one sculpture takes about a month. The last of my work is a life-size young chestnut horse. I arranged all the sculptures in groups, and built paths around them to make it easier for guests visiting my garden to reach it.In total, I have already done 35 such figures.
