Whilst looking at Patricia Balloona's blog (well worth a read), i saw that she had done this Phoenix. It looked great and she shared the link to the original by Andre Nolle.
This Inge is massive and so very difficult to photograph. Well worth the time spent.
Not sure what I am going to do with it now though!
Incidentally, that is my eldest (Abigail) in the picture.

Wow!

love it

fantastic!

Thanks very much. Ideas of what to do with it now would be very welcome.

Are they having the jump off the end of Worthing Pier over Easter? Maybe you could enter that for the publicity? Although I think it's moved to London.
Not the pier but the event, is it the Red Bull Challenge?

Lol. Willing to send Abi with it  

It went to a care home round the corner from me. The staff did look rather baffled when I turned up, but did take it in!  

That's a great phoenix and HUGE.

It seems that Andre Nolle inspired Patricia Balloona to make a Phoenix, Patricia Balloona then inspired Areyouhappydad to make a Phoenix and now Areyouhappydad has inspired me to make a Phoenix, I decided to make up my own design for my phoenix but thanks for inspiring me everyone

That is brilliant Rob.
I love the art work you add in the background of your pictures too. Very clever stuff.

Rob, your phoenix is amazaballs!

Areyouhappydad, I am soo happy that you found and liked Andre's design on my blog and I love your red replication!
