Hi Folks, Life is moving on slowly,as we settle back to a normal life pattern, having managed to put my-self back into the studio to put my passion back into some wood, just finished a "Little Owl" also known as the "German Owl", this small Bird of Prey, has been introduced into New Zealand, the length is about 23cm and is mainly found on farm land or pockets of bush and trees near urban settlements.
The next one I would like to attempt may be landing with wings open so I can really get the feather detail in place. Have added two photos to the gallery page.
The hands with a dove taking off that I had on my last Blog, was a carving I did back around 1998/99 which was sold to a local client back then, but I was lucky to still have a photo of it,
With the Tekapo festival getting closer (8th March) its going to be a little busy around here over the next month, a-part to doing some small song birds, also would like to try another wing tip balancing carving this time of a couple of Tern's. I found some photos ,cut them out ,then set them up to give me an idea of a plan of attack, so we will see if I can achieve !!.
