Design process
At first I thought about hiding behind a row of slender columns, as in the Monastery of Santes Creus near the city of Reus.
Also I was playing with the idea of working the puppet from a sitting position...
Here you can see some of the early thoughts on the hindquarters, and the eyelid mechanism. It was at this stage that I decided to put "mineral eyes" instead of animal looking ones, to keep true to the stone theme...
Finally I decided to make a kind of false window after one seen on Ferran Street in the gotic part of Barcelona, as it would give me greater wiew of the public and the gargola's surroundings
To go to the construction process...
