MILLION DOLLARS spent on Statue in Perth Instead of our Homeless or Sick People

This is what greeted us as we stepped off the train in Perth on a recent visit to our city in Forrest Place. I was astounded when I saw where the City of Perth is spending hard earned dollars.  I could not believe they could waste this amount of money on a monstrosity like this.

As we stood there flabbergasted, a person walked up to us and said can you believe that that cost us a Million dollars?   We could not believe that our powers to be could use Western Australia's money in such a way.

Don't get me wrong; I have nothing against modern art, but at1 million dollars, surely during these hard economic times the money could have been spent on a much better project.

Money would be spent better on: helping the hundreds of homeless people and creating jobs than a masterpiece that looks like part of the human anatomy.

Writing as a Family With Similar Craft Interests

I have enjoyed writing for years as a novice although I now write together with my daughter on another site.  We share the same interests like photography, crafts,  mosaics, crochet, and my husband also enjoys working with glass which we love the things he makes. This is Sharon's latest project of Mosaics the nearly finished bird bath that will go next to their fish pond. Do you think the birds will think they will catch a fish for dinner when they first get to see this? Looks great now it finished. My daughter works full time yet she still has time to do these and believe me it is not always easy. Especially as she has teenagers that keep her busy as they are both planning their weddings one year apart, so she has to save for these too.  Many times she has cuts all over her fingers from cutting tiles and when she includes glass into her creations as this is sharper still when creating these things. Personally I prefer to travel, although yes I do crochet, create sh
