Toy sculptures have grown-up pricetags
Sick of finding your child's toys on the living room floor? How about sticking them together to create a bigger toy and then selling it for £12,000.That is what sculptor Robert Bradford has done with his latest creations 'Toy Soldier' and 'Toy Angel'.
The artist from Cornwall says that one day he found a box of toys his children had outgrown and started putting them together to make various colourful shapes.
He now uses old toys purchased at car boot sales to create his works the latest of which 'Toy Soldier' is made from action toys such as guns, airplanes and walkie-talkies.
There are also several video games controllers used in the body ... so lets just hope his children don't want to play Mario any time soon.
'Toy Soldier' and 'Toy Angel' will go on show at the Fresh Air 2009 show where they will be on sale for £12,000 eachLINKS
