A couple of months ago, on that little nursery hopping trip to Portland, there was time after the nurseries closed to do a little exploration. It's always fun to loose oneself in a new area of town, especially because the lady in the phone can always find a way out. Sometimes, interesting discoveries await like this shiny thing that caught my eye. Had to pull over and investigate.
Looks like a dragon in the making and catch the cool spheres. The occupants of the house might be getting a little nervous, especially if this fellow is to be a fire-breathing sort.
Unfortunately, it was behind the fence of a business that was closed but here's a bit more of what I could see behind the fence.
This certainly looks like a place worth visiting during open hours!
Turns out, it's the exterior of Delia Furniture. Do they also sell the cool exterior stuff or is that simply their own garden? What of the magnificent dragon being built outside; is that a work to be displayed somewhere in the Rose City or simply a pet project/calling card for the business?
May your weekend be filled with unexpected delights!
Please go back and find out more!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty sad that I've never been there, especially since Andrew's done work with them and told me about their cool creations. I know Anna's visited. Maybe she'll weigh in with some stories...
ReplyDeleteThat dragon is pretty cool! I'd love to know more. What fun to explore, knowing the lady in the phone will find your way back. That never occurred to me.
ReplyDeleteThe place definitely needs further inspection. A lot of very cool large scale funky artwork!
ReplyDeleteYou MUST go back and return with a report!
ReplyDeleteWay more interesting than our local La-Z-Boy store.
ReplyDeleteI love metal sculptures in gardens! That dragon is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThat dragon is huge! It's got to be a permanent fixture?
ReplyDeleteOh, awesome. I can't wait to hear more about it!
ReplyDeleteFinding that dragon must have been quite the shocking sight. I am sure your interest was peaked. Mine too. Someone there has a good hand with a welder and a great imagination.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a dragon!
ReplyDeleteWhen you sleuth out the answers you'll have to let us know!
ReplyDeleteI would like one of those dragons.
ReplyDeleteI like this dragon Peter. Interesting things may be found someday.
