I was fascinated by the photos of the 27 foot angel in the UK made out of 10,000 knives. The angel looks quite menacing, but I suppose that's the point.
More info: The sculpture, named "Knife Angel," was created in Oswestry, Shropshire, by the British Ironwork Centre. It took two years to build. The knives were handed in by 41 police forces around the country during amnesties and confiscations.

Process notes:
I used SolidPaper No. 3 as my background. I placed my photo and used the color blend mode to turn it into a sketch effect, duplicated it at 24% opacity. It also turned it a burnished brown, instead of bluish-black of the statue. I added several transfers behind my focal and around the outline of the angel. Also added a transfer on the left to add interest. Placed several LoopDaLoops to create movement. WordArt created by using several different fonts was my final touch.
Thanks for looking.
