King Kong Sculpture Finally Finished!

I'm pleased to have finally completed this sculpture! To give you an idea of the size the finished piece measures 8 1/2" W X 9" L X 10 1/4" H . I had wanted to finish this sculpture on April 15th to correspond with my shaving my head as a fund raiser for the St.Baldrick's Foundation for childhood cancer research.

Unfortunately I underestimated the time needed to finish it on schedule. But on a positive note so far I've raised $ 240.00 by shaving my head and now I plan on auctioning off this King Kong sculpture with 100% of the proceeds going to St.Baldrick's.

    i also love how your donating the proceeds to cancer research.

    Wow Brian, it looks just wonderful! You've been working on this piece for such a long time. Donating all the proceeds to charity is such a kind and generous thing to do. You are a very good soul...

    Have you been touched by cancer?

    That came out great!!! I hope you raise a lot of money for this great cause. And you did great raising money for the head shaving! I do so admire that ... but might admire it even more if you were a woman! : )

    Yes Jenners I think it is admirable when a woman gets involved in charity head shaves. If your interested I'll pencil you in for next year ;)

    I'm glad you like how Kong turned out Julie. And yes the shaved head is cool - a little too cool! I wish we'd get warmer weather already :)
