We've been getting around the local area a bit - up into the mountains. The scenery is superb but what I find most striking is the roads - even the most remote mountain areas where we never see another car, the roads are like new, smooth and quiet. The potholes and grass growing down the centre are entirely absent. Zig-zagging roads up mountains, bridges over gorges and rivers - all in perfect condition. And all the villages look as if they have had a make-over - perhaps that is where the moneys all gone?
Well it is nearly the new year and I guess everyone will be drowning their sorrows or celebrating - I'll be working as usual (bah humbug!!) Pierrot is coming on well, but my fingertips are getting sore from the sanding so I might get on with my painting. I also have to do some drawings for a couple of new pieces.
To all my readers all over the world, Betty James and I wish you all the very best for the New Year - We live in interesting times!
Good carving

May I wish you , Betty and James the very best for 2012, and a creative 2012.
The carved fabric of Pierrot looks stunning.Maybe a future instructional dvd on fabric carving?
I am sure many of the fans would like to learn proper fabric carving as well.
Best wishes,

To and yours, a blessed new year! The photos are magnificent and the carving is coming out quite nicely. Can't wait until we can carve outdoors again in the spring/summer.
Best wishes, Andrew Baker
It took me a few minutes to realize that it was not a pile of fabric covering something, but actually your sculpture. Congrats for fooling me.
