Wall Art
Weaxan - British Wildflowers
Height 29cm X Width 46cm X Depth 3.5cm
Weaxan is an old English word meaning "to grow" which I felt was very apt for this piece. Made at a time when I was exploring my techniques to see how complicated I could get with my work.
It features an array of British Wildflowers, trees and insects. A very welcoming sight on the wall it, without fail, promotes discussion every time someone walks by.
Carefully carved from lime wood and finished with oil paints.
Price £750 (+ P&P)

Black Shuck & Saw
Height 16cm X Width 12cm X Depth 2.5cm
A fantasy pub name and sign I carved using the Suffolk legend of the Black Shuck as the centre piece. On the 4th of August, 1577, the Black Shuck was said to have burst through the doors of churches in Bungay and Blythburgh, killing two people. As it left the church in Blythburgh the demon dog left scorch marks on the North Door which are still said to be seen to this day.
Carefully carved from lime wood and finished with oil paints.
Price £195 (+ P&P)

Woolpit Lion
Height 15cm X Width 11.5cm X Depth 5cm
This lion is my interpretation of a very similar lion head on the wooden pump in the village of Woolpit, Suffolk. The carving around the pump itself is well worth seeing, each corner depicting a different queen and between those queens, this lions head.
I had to take photos of the original lion and create a clay sculpture to get the sizes and dimensions to my liking.
Carefully carved from oak and finished with boiled linseed oil and wax.
Price £315 (+ P&P)
