Well I hate to say it but I was wrong. After a 10 days of looking for my camera and deciding it had been stolen, I found it. So here is a photo update of my walnut carving. There isn't too much more to do to the carving itself but I still need a rod and a piece of granite for the base. Having more of a Celtic feel to it I need to build a title around that. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Unfortunately my camera has been stolen so I'm on hold as far as images goes which is really disappointing. I've got the materials I needed to finish off the walnut carving I've been working on so this will give me something to do.
I have a cold at the moment, which is rare for me. I'm lucky if I get sick twice a year. I put that down to giving up smoking approx 12 years ago.
On the other side of things, I've cleaned up some beef bone and sketched on some designs that are ready for me to work on.
We have a lovely sunny day here and really, our winter has been kind to us again. I think I feel well enough to get dressed(12.54pm) lol, and do some work. Hopefully I'll be able to sweat most of the bug out which kind of reminds of this picture I did for my nephew many years ago. A4 black pen. He loves bugs.
Well, I've finally completed my mates partners house. It's been a slow process due to weather hiccups and due to the fact you're not going to find much fine weather during winter! I've posted more images on Google+ so if you want to see more just hop into Google+. You will also get to see the red door which was my colour choice, to go with the rest of the house. The owner had thought of painting it black. I see a red door and I want it painted black was the thought that followed that.
Over the last one and a half weeks I've been painting a mates house in Carterton, South Wairarapa, NZ. We're slowly working our way to completing the outside. Rain, wind and sunshine have been the main hazards, not to forget it's winter and yes, I said sunshine! Overcast days are the best. In the Wairarapa you can almost guarantee you'll get four seasons in one day hence the length of time it's taken so far.
On the other side of things, I've been working on a business card design in my spare time. Ta Moko is the permanent body and face marking by Maori. There's still plenty of room to play around with the design too.
