Halloween Marionette (1)

Handcarved wooden skeleton marionette.

Sat 28th October

For Cliff

I took the dogs for a walk on the South Downs, starting from the Jack and Jill Windmills and heading towards Ditchling Beacon.It was obvious from the start that the clouds weren't going to make for a fantastic shot, however after walking around the tracks for about an hour the sun started to set. As the sun began its descent so did the mist.

What could have been a fantastic sussex countryside sunset with possible views of Brighton and the sea turned into this:

And 10 mins later nearly back at Jack and Jill

Ok so do I win a prize for the worst sunset picture?

If not then I submit this one which was taken exactly one year ago just outside of Stowe in Vermont.

Ah thats more like it!!

Story Teller Marionette

Here's a marionette I've nearly finished for a client. The character is an old storyteller. He has moving eyes, mouth and one moving eyebrow. The head is made from paperclay and is hollow to allow for all the mechanism for the moving parts.

Carved Hand

Here's a hand I've nearly finished carving for a new puppet. Expect a picture of the right hand soon.

Carved from lime.

website tidy up

Have tidied up the website, well some of the pages. Still a lot to do but it looks better already.
