I've notice a few properties recently that have metal decorations on the outside. I have seen dragonflies, lizards & butterflies. Can anyone tell me if these are available here?

Sadly the artist, Pat, died last year.

My husband (he is an artist and normally draws pictures or creates graphic novels and illustrated books) and his friend have started doing something like that. As I like cats and like the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland, they have made one out of metal re-bar. It's not finished yet. Will post a picture, when it's done. It is rather cartoon like, but that is what I wanted.
The next project will be a big dragon on our gate - 4m wide. When we went to Barcelona, we saw the one Antoni Gaudi made on one of the houses he designed and I loved it so much.
If you are interested, tell them what you are thinking of, how much you want to spend and they will say if it can be done.

Where do you get the metal from? I have a welder and want to weld together some railings for my flat roof. So I only need the raw materials.

Chris, Look for signs that say Tum Metal! There is one place behind Al Saheen Indian Restaurant (used to be Mirabelle if you can remember that far back) and another closer to you in the units before the original Leather Shop on the main road past Catalkoy.
No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.
