BUSTED! It's true. We love Mark Hopkins's sculpture work, especially his commissioned depiction of Joel Chandler Harris and the beloved characters he wrote about. This bust is on display at The Wren's Nest now, but you can purchase one for yourself on his website at https://www.markhopkinssculpture.com/ And we love that a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the sculpture goes to supporting The Wren's Nest's activities. #busted #bust #sculpture #bronze #bronzesculpture #joelchandlerharris #thewrensnest #artwork #brerrabbit #brerfox
