I'd much prefer one-off artwork to reproduced churned-out rubbish. The wood looks amazing Ausjack.

Thanks PP, they're called burls and they're normally a disease in the tree but other things can cause them and this is a perla to show what fence wire can do to a tree..all those burls :winkextra:

Hi young Jack
I haven't painted for years
A few years ago i decided to try to start painting again so I painted this little set
I have a small babuska doll collection so I used them as my models
I was trying to practice using the acrylics and also to stay with in my lines
So the eyes lips etc are all coins (ie 5 cents, ten cents, twenty cents) that I drew the circle with - the head area, well, i used my tupperware bowls for that!  
I do have some charcoal drawing somewhere in the cupboard that i also did years - charlie chaplin - stuff like that
i like to draw people & faces - eyes are the hardest to do (for me anyways)
My mother was a very good painter and drawer so I get the interest from her
Hope you like my little paintings
I really like your paintings and woodwork as well
cheers Robbie

I keep tellin ya trout..I'm not just a pretty face :mocking:

Kel, I'm an aussie mate so there's not much chance..and I still have to much to try and look at here :good: The only thing that does apeal to me about the US and that's hawaii as I've heard that it's around 25 degrees all year so that would be great being temperature sensitive..but besides that I'm here mate..wish I could find somewhere like that in oz but the closest I've noticed is darwin and how it's alway 30 to 33 near all year

Now Robbie, WOW mate, yes very impressed. I like'em and ya done a really good job :good: I like russian dolls I think I'd have to have some sort of training to do faces and that..I can do an abstract face..eye on the nose and ear on top of the head type of thing :mocking: And my are free hand 'cause I can't keep in the lines :mocking: but I recon what ever you can use as long as it does the job and the coins and bowls worked a treat

There are some real hidden talents around here, well done team :good:
