I first tried my hand at working on Eggman IV but found it had too many moving parts for a first 'learning experience' so opted for using the painting, "Eggman II" for inspiration. I used concrete, mortar mix and a bit of acrylic polymer for the egg and head; air-dried clay for the bird heads and German glass doll eyes for---you guessed it. It stands a bit over 18 inches with the granite base. Original Jones Art? If it isn't, I'm not sure what's happening in Austin, Texas. And maybe I don't at that. Addendum: This piece was chosen to hang in the Summer Show at Art Space Gallery in July of 2018.

Looks like a rather Eggs pensive project. My mother when the studio had lost most of its customer base turned to doll making. Back then the glass doll eyes were just over $20 a pair.She had a Gnome on the cover of Dolls magazine July 1986.

Artist Reply: I guess cost is relative, Stan. The concrete, mortar mix and acrylic polymer were pretty inexpensive. I picked up the glass eyes for about half what your mom paid. The single costliest item was the granite base. The time spent trumped the cost of materials.
