My WPA Sculpture Restoration Project
WPA era sculputure of a woman, and my restoration project for the last five years. I'm not a fast worker! This is from over 100 pieces, with many to go. Figure is 20 inches tall and nearly three feet around. Worth saving. When all the pieces are firmly attached, I'll make a paste out of the "crumbs" which I saved as well and fill in some cracks.
