Fairy of Kensington Gardens Statue

I have wanted this statue for years but always felt guilty about spending the money, finally said, I'm doing it. It's pretty large, detail is good, packed well, no issues there. Will go on a hill that you see when going up the driveway, surrounded by flowers. Can't wait till spring..

I was looking for a fairy statue, not an angel which seemed easier to find, for our yard. The Kensington fairy has beautiful details on the wings, hair, skirt, flowers, face...I get compliments on her all the time. Her head did start to have cracks in it after only a few summer months outside, but Toscano shipped us a new one after we emailed pictures. There have been no issues with the second one. I am now thinking about another fairy statue to join her.

"Kensington," as I call her is a lovely addition to our garden. I placed her on the ground in the nook of one of my Toyon trees. From a design look, she is wonderful. The ONLY dissatisfactions I have with her is that (1) she is too white and (2) the location where her wings are connected to the back are not seemless. One can see the metal wing connection location when walking around the statue and that detracts from a 360 degree viewing. The artist would take note of these issues and perhaps where the color is concerned, tone the white resin down with a bit of deeper toning or mottle the resin somewhat, so she doesn't look plastic! There are also better ways to connect the wings to the body, so that the metal bracket with screws don't show when viewing from the back. Otherwise, she is very beautiful and worth the money. I'd be happy to supply a photo of her as she is placed under the tree, should anyone want to see her.

She is beautiful! The color is much whiter than the picture. The screw holes to fasten her wings don't line up so I couldn't secure her wings. But overall she is majestic! I would recommend purchasing her.
