Until then I'd sort of lost inspiration to do that. The grass in that part of the garden had gotten way too long so it'd mean a lot of work before I could even get to putting the statue there.
Saturday felt right, I got to work with mowers and so on, until it looked like it should.
Then it was time to put the bamboo rack in its place and after properly anchoring that, AA Christiel's statue on top.
To be able to attach the statue to the rack I used a new round BBQ grill. I fastened that to the bamboo rack with wire.
The statue doesn't weigh much so without it'd blow over with the least bit of wind.
Here it is!
The area directly in front is where I concentrate the portal. I keep empowering it on regular basis.

The whole setup. The white unicorns in the conifers around the area. The blue chunks are to weigh the rack down more. It's recycled car glass, sold for garden deco.
The colour turquoise goes well with AA Christiel.
From greater distance, it's almost a straight path from the front of the garden to the portal with the statue :D

Close-up. I added the (fake) pearl in his right hand. The other holds the white ascension flame:

Then I put a few solar lights with it. It's a dark corner with conifers on 2 sides, in the back of the garden, and I wanted it to be lit up at light.
I will add a few larger solar lights later on.

After it was all outdoors, me totally happy, I saw it was 17-8-2024 ==> 8-8-8!!!
No wonder I had inspiration to get it done that day!
