The big day arrived when the bronze arrived on the back of a lorry. Just as  quickly as the bronze sculpture arrived, it went again as the couriers had just finished loading the van to take my work to the 100th RHS Chelsea Flower Show. 

So after spending almost an entire year researching, applying for funding and then creating the wax sculpture, it arrived! I saw it for five minutes before it was whisked off to London for the show. Talk about cutting it fine.
