Mt Cook, Aoraki our Back Yard

Almost the end of July

O blimey seven months of this year almost gone, and I was hoping to have a bit more done by now, with some back-up carvings for up and coming shows and other events, but we will get there as long as I don't panic.

I recently I ordered and received two of Floyd Scholz books :" Birds of Prey" and "Golden Eagle" ( the art of Bird carving) a must to read, I did not put them down until I read from cover to cover with both books, then suddenly had the horrible thought that I still have a long way  to achieve my dreams to-become a master at my art. What was in these books was so inspiring, it has just given me a very positive goal to achieve more and more.

His detail in the lay out is fantastic from his subjects action to the burning of feathers detailing and painting, just awesome, he can also be found on Google and you-tube, if you wish to carve birds, they are a must to read or add to your collection, as the principal is the same for a large bird or a small song bird. His full size Golden Eagle took ten months to finish, so my project of the two mallards may take six months may not be so bad after all. 

Please bare with me of late, as I am trying a few changes with my site to help improve  traffic, most changes are behind the scenes with search sites,  so I hope that they don't cause any problems on the site, until next time , take care regards Ken.
