Finally got a project done on a lathe, a carving mallet.
Which means carvings in time.

This wee beauty was done earlier this month.
I'm looking forward to my carving project.





The Invercargill Skyline, yep, thats it. This here was a group effort from the following people: Bruce Berg, Wade Kennedy, Bryce Williams, Johnny Ferrari, Paul Nicholson, Daniel Niven and of course myself. Used as a prop for functions at the Ascot Park Hotel, this skyline shadow is quite effective with the lights, plants and water fountain supplied by John and Sue from Plants Plus. This was done in September 2007.

ADULT ORIENTATED PINATA!

A truly unusual experience in creating this oversized (how should we say it....) penis. The novelty of it all was fantastic, it was a smash at the party. (no pun intended) Special orders are welcome, but allow at least 2 months for completion. Enjoy!











THE LADYBUG PINATA!!

Well here is one of the latest in the pinata range, fun to make, and lessons learned. Never use a spray can when cutting corners on painting a pinata!! Enjoy!

"Withering Elements",
fantastic mixed media abstract painting. Rich royal purple has a suede effect, while the copper, platnium and gold metallics shimmer in the light. Size is 12" high and 16" wide. Would compliment any living space. For any information, please email.
