So I've Taken Up Wood Carving....

She was very special. I miss her terribly and pray for her soul everyday now.

 

More poppies I've made. These are going to be sold at my local florist and all money raised goes straight to the British Legion. These are life sized (but a bit thicker so they can be put outside if desired). I was hoping to ask £5 each for them, do you guys think thats too much? If so how much would you pay for them?

 

Lovely

Think a fiver is a bargain

 

They are lovely Jane, I think a fiver is very reasonable

 

This years big project almost completed. Trojan Horse. The horse itself made from Walnut worktop and sat on an oak trolley. The wheels are made from mahogany and 15 little soldiers are carved from lime offcuts. They are housed in two drawers sat in the base

Drawers Opened


Inside the belly


Group shot of 10 of the 15 soldiers. 5 pence piece to give a sense of scale


Quite pleased with my archers

Wow

Fantastic Jane

 

I love them! Can see them being played with and much loved by little children

 

Well done Jane , you really are very talented

 

Is the ETSY link within the blog? Where?

 

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Its been so hard to complete as I have struggled to motivate myself to finish it from time to time.

Its a bit neglected as I have another more busier shop that takes up more of my time.

 

That trojan horse is a very nice piece.

 

PS that's what makes the difference between "achievers" and "loosers".
