I don't know why that caught my eye and I remembered it, but that was what popped into my head. Intricate detail on so may pieces. I love that craftsmen/persons, are being embraced as the artists they are. Having no talent in either area, I appreciate what others can do and then share.

I got first prize and reserve champion overall in the wood section at Stokesly show last year. I was gobsmacked as it was the first carving I had ever entered... I also took the second prize in the same section for another of my carvings. My head was so big when I saw my rosettes that I could hardly get it in the car :-)Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049568808770731003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-90298711585457808312016-01-08T22:31:52.850+00:002016-01-08T22:31:52.850+00:00wow, thats amazing, what a talent!!wow, thats amazing, what a talent!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-73310156302616880702016-01-08T21:54:06.676+00:002016-01-08T21:54:06.676+00:00Whilst I can see the huge amount of work that has ...Whilst I can see the huge amount of work that has gone into the making of the sculptures, I don't understand the significance of the images chosen, especially the one of the ladies with their backs to the viewer and what looks like umbrellas and is it rhinoceros ?
