“Praying Mantis” by Ana Belen

A praying mantis sculpture made from scrap and bits and bobs lying around by Ana. With a couple of days of metalwork experience Ana wanted to make a praying mantis for her brother that could hang off the brick wall and be moved around… The body is made of tube, wings from sheet metal, legs and feelers from round bar and front legs from a. saw blade… Came out quite nice and some plans are afoot to make bigger ones
