Searching for the carved ones

Slipped home to Gisborne for a quick trip and still found a bit of time to do some carving! Definitely enjoyed working at a larger scale and with a mallet and chisel.

I have giants up my hill

When I was a child the woods up Barkers hill, behind my home in Gisborne was a mystical and an enchanting place. Sometimes my imagination would run wild, I have vivid memories of being scared witless as the wind would be howling and the trees were groaning. I imagined the woods coming alive and giant woodland spirits descending upon my family and I. 
Scale up my sculptures?

 Ash moon the dreamer

If you are born under the Ash moon (18 Feb- 17 March)
Your task in life is to illustrate to others how beautiful this world is and how we are the gardeners of not only this land but our own souls. Your challenge in life is to keep your feet firmly on the ground as you tend to daydream; you need to avoid living in outer space completely, if you do visit the outer realms you must come back.
