~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Today, I'm showing you some art by Ivan Lovatt. It's all done with Chicken Wire! I've chosen only the
Blue ones as today is
Blue Monday!Most of Lovatt's wire portraits take over a month to complete and are about one and a half times larger than life size. Somehow, he manages to twist, bend and pin the wire in such a way that his portraits end up so detailed you can actually see every hair on their head. His works have been displayed in galleries and museums all around the world. Click on this
link if you wish to see more of his work.
The BeatlesDepicted during their Sgt. Pepper era, the Fab Four is on display in their uniforms. I love the epaulettes!
Wings of wireHere, Lovatt presents, “The Eagle.”
Sir Edmund HillaryWhat better way to honor the fabled New Zealand mountaineer, explorer, and environmental champion than to recreate his likeness in wire fencing?
KoalaI saved the cutest for last. Here's a koala in Blue chicken wire. Aw . . .

Hello, Thank you for hosting a Wonderful Blue Monday... I just linked up the "Fabulous 50s" have a wonderful week!!!
Thank you so much for hosting.
I love the Koala bear, so adorable. Nice blues.
Happy Blue Monday and thanks for hosting.
....have a great Blue Monday!
Love your blues Sally!
My Blue Monday.
Hi Sally, I should be in bed huh? Bill is watching a recorded show and I am catching up with my commenting. My cousin Bob is here and my time is not my own.
The chicken wire art is amazing. I can't believe the detail Ivan Lovatt can capture with wire. Each piece is so perfect. A great talent for sure. A great share for Blue Monday.
I hope you are still feeling better as the days go by.
Hugs, Jeanne
Happy Blue Monday, Sally!
Hope you have a great day. Just picked up my son at school - his first day at Prep (the school year before Year 1) and the rain was pouring down - bucket loads!!
Greetings from Australia♥
The koala is the cutest. It's so realistic and the wire pattern realistically recreates the coarse fur. Thanks, as always, for being a wonderful hostess.
Nice pictures, I like these wonderful sculptures. Greetings.
Love that koala!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

wow so beautiful...
Happy cold monday Sally
Wow. It's amazing that people would think to use chicken wire that way, and that it can be made to look so realistic!
Ouch! Having worked with chicken wire I cannot imagine how he can work without it drawing blood. He must be all gloved up and then how do you get such fine detail.
Very impressive!!
Thanks for hosting us Sally.
It is great to be back.
This is so different and beautiful. I loved the eagle and the koala. I can imagine that chicken wire would be difficult to work with and also the artist might end up with a lot of scratches.
I had to enter 4 times before it would recognize me. where there are three Iris's grouped together it didn't work. The last one #57 finally worked. Sorry about that.
Hugs
Iris
Wow chicken wire you say? Wow! Amazing. Thanks for sharing some really cool Blues. Come by and see what I did today.
Have a great week,
Sherry
These sculptures are amazing. Love the koala!
This is a first for me. Do not recall haivng seen anything made from chicken wire except chicken coops. My son would love the one of the Beatles. Great find for a Blue day.
Hi Most Smiling One! Oh, this is just amazing! I of course love The Beatles! He is one talented man and I'll bet his hands are poked and scratched to prove it! ;)
Thanks for hosting your party.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Hello Sally~ It's always nice stopping by for a visit.
I enjoy your posts and the eye candy you so generously share.
Wow, the detailing is amazing. It makes me happy to see the talents of others expressed.
I hope you can stop by to see the Valentine surprises I've got in store. This week starting with...Pain au Chocolat. I'll put the kettle on for a nice cup of tea.
Sweet wishes,

Oh Sally these blues are just terrific! I missed the deadline because we were traveling through Kansas but I put up my post anyway. Stop by when you can. My son loves the Beatles. These are all so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. Anne
Sally, I was so puzzled. I had four comments that needed to be moderated. I went to check them and they all came from your party. I realized when I was linking up my link went to an old post and not the one I intended to post. Thanks for visiting but I am embarrassed for my boo boo!
I will just save it for next week.
Blessings, Ginger
I really like this blue art and creations.I really impress by this creations from this blog.
