Gargoyles & Angels Miniature Street Sculpture

How to find them?  Gargoyles are shy creatures and it by the very nature of their business that guardian angels are never seen.  Hence you will only discover these creatures by accident or by exploring the city with curious eyes!  They are hiding in booot scraper niches, behind glass doors, on drain pipes and on walls, they are climbing gables, watch from ledges and peep down from house corners!   No more than 16 inches high these gargoyles, angels and chimeras sport a stylish, and perhaps particularly Irish, greenish camouflage.   But are they friend or foe?   Have great family fun by finding them before they fine you.....
