crazy, right?
we saw a pair of these monkey statues mounted on big plaster plinths two years ago in palm springs, and we were seriously fascinated by their 80's goodness (or badness, depending on your POV), so when we found the above solo number for a bargain price (sans plinth), we knew we had to have her. of course, a bargain price means there is work to be done as she needs to be repainted,and her face needs re-gilding to get rid of the ghastly painted on eyeballs, but still, we are highly amused with our purchase, and can't wait to give her the makeover she deserves.

If anyone can make those monkeys work, you can! I would be proud to have monkeys if the design came from you!
I have never been able to get on that monkey train. I'm sure after seeing your project I might just change my mind!
Keep on the down low, those are great! I'd be spanking those monkeys all day erryday!
Sorry it was too easy. But I do love them.
Well, she's kinda fascinating. I can see why you wouldn't leave her behind. We'll see if she ends up in your next garage sale.
Katie is right--go for it! Mary
This is maybe one of my favorite posts from you.
You NEVER cease to AMAZE me! I am eager to see how this recent purchase turns out....no doubt you WILL make it FABULOUS! The more I look at it, the more I like it. Thanks for keeping it "real".
Be careful what you teach it...just sayin'...
Strangely, I'm fascinated with her too! I wouldn't have left her behind either.

I'm pretty sure you just picked up some extra clients with this post.
