Hi folks,
just back home after spending a few days in Akaroa, delivered some carvings over to the Gallery Lavaud, just in time as Ijan was down to two carvings, with cruise ships arriving every couple of days. The weather wasn't flash, but Ijan and Pips hospitality was awesome, and it was quiet a relaxing time for Pam and I, to recharge batteries, to ready ourselves for the festive season.
Also took over a couple of turned vase's which I had, and had added carving to, Ijan decided to kept them both, as he wanted to try the market with them,even though a gallery up the road also had wood-turning on display,which was just standard wood turning and not carved, so it will be interesting to see what the results may be, they did draw a lot of comments at the Geraldine show,so may be!!

This may be the last blog until 2015, so I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a safe and happy festive season and we'll catch up in 2015, as I have some new and challenging idea's on my to achieve list, so until next, if you can-not be good, be safe. regards Ken and Pam.
