   Sometimes an artist needs to just create and not think about what time it is, pending orders,  laundry or folding laundry.  That is when time stops, when you find the right piece in your hand , the phone does not ring and youi know exactly where this piece is going to fit, and it does.
So, I have taken two weeks to do just that, create, o.k. I did get a small order out in between there somewhere. In that time I created the best dog I have ever done ,which I just love, he is the perfect essence of dogginess complete with moving parts. That is the really fun part, finding things to add to surprise.
   This week I have welded the most amazing stallion. The wind is whipping his mane and he is free! I have put him off to the side for a moment, I may be working on him some more, he is done now but he needs to be gallery quality, interesting and this one needs to blow your socks off.

Dog days of February?!

2/18/2013

   Pictures from last week,  the cutest 3D metal dog ever, also the best behaved.  It took a number of days to configure all the most perfect parts for each limb and hours of decision on placement of each, limb, ears, tail etc. I initially wanted to have only two of it's feet on the ground but could not come up with a suitable position to make it stable enough. I wanted him to be a believable 'dog' without being an exact breed.  His ball is an old fishing weight, his carrier cage is an old biscuit tin with an antique metal and leather suitcase handle. He even has some moving parts, this is a one of a kind puppy!
   Scroll down to last week to see all current and upcoming events.

   Metal garden herons, swimming salmon sculptures and everything your garden needs to make it look great. The weather in Victoria is so warm and amazing people, and the birds, are thinking spring and there has been a constant flow of clients through the studio and e-mails galore. There are lots of pictures from the workshop from the last two weeks of work so less talk more pics, enjoy.
