Recarved Mother and Child

Well I wasn't entirely happy with the mother's head, when this piece was exhibited in The Crypt Gallery, it was a little "football" shaped, oh dear. So I have recarved it & am now happy with the way her chin is scrunched gently on the child's head. I remember that feeling, when my sons were small.....

A Bird in the Hand - finished

This carving in lime wood has surprised me, I didn't really plan it and yet it seemed determined to exist on a very "real" level. The chunky lad has a pony tail. I have found out that geese are very compassionate birds. If one of them falls out of the flock during migration, another goose will join the injured one, and stay with it until it heals and is able to fly again, or dies. Only then will the rescuer goose rejoin the flock. No goose will ever be left alone.
