This is a caricature of a good friend expert in organizing craft shows. The image tried to show his relief at the start of a show when all is working out as planned. Eyes are closed, tongue out and a big sigh!

Carved in cedar, 18 cms high and finished in Rennaisance wax.

The contrasting wood grain sadly hides expression, which would be better displayed if I had chosen lime.

My golf

This represents my mood when I finally decided to temporarily end my efforts to control a golf ball. Carved from one piece of lime, 24 cms high & finished in Rennaisance wax. 

The wood grain is in the vertical plane leaving a severe problem of weak cross-grain in the shaft of the golf club that required a temporary support frame whilst cutting.
