Ooh! I can offer some tips on adding solar pathlites to sculptures-- in my opinion, it's a great way to get bang for your buck, and you don't have to be an electronics whiz to set the whole thing up (I myself am a bit intimidated by 12-volt batteries and expensive big panels).

Red's tip about soldering some longer wire onto the LED in the pathlite is spot-on. I've done several lantern-type projects using the 'guts' from a pathlight. Upside is electrical simplicity (since the circuit is pre-made, and easy to cut apart into component bits and reattach to get the panel and light configured in the right places). Downside is you have one LED per tiny panel, so you'll have to get a lot of them to get a lot of light in your sculpture.

Another great resource from the AEZ that you can't get to from our main page is our Wiki:

I've got some pics on my profile of some SUNflowers that I made using this part:

Hope that helps! Send me a message if you would like more help.

Now is the time to get your LED Christmas light strings before they go away. A single deep cycle RV / Marine battery (similar to the size of a car battery) can run an inexpensive 12 volt DC to 250 watt AC inverter (less than $40) for many nights depending on how many strings you buy.
