Floral lace540 viewsI was really enjoying this piece in my garden, but in November 2011 some scumbag stole this piece and I now have no idea where it could be. If you see it anywhere could you contact me. I would really appreciate getting it back.

fern bowl537 viewsA few months ago I was asked to make a birdbath. I was given dimensions for the bowl, but after I started rounding out the outside I was emailed to say they had given me the wrong dimensions. For a long time the round top sat un-formed and alone, then one day I thought of this... based on fern leaves and fronds.
Stands 925mm high. Bowl 400mm across

Fate534 viewsTwisting form - similiar to Mobius with more twists and more upright stance. When I was carving this life was going through a bit of a bad patch in my life and it made me think how life twists from going through a good phase, and then a bad, and then good... etc. I suppose we have to have the bad, to appreciate the good?
810mm tall
(SOLD)

sea shell533 viewsI found a broken shell on the beach which showed the beautiful soft curves of the inside we don't usually see. This was the basis of this idea.
550mm tall
(SOLD)

Twist of Fate (side view)525 views(as before)
dark side of the moon.jpg
Dark side of the Moon520 viewsOK. I admit it. Pink Floyd did come to mind several times when I was making this. Another of my 'weird phase' as my husband puts it... But I had fun making it.
Four pieces pinned together standing about 1.5metres tall.

Tui Sundial side 2518 viewsThe other side of the sundial showing one tui swooping down upon another.
Total number of tuis on column = 2 flying and 1 defending his flowers

Tui Sundial side 1516 viewsAround our place we have lots of tuis around in the spring when the Kowhai trees are flowering. I decided I couldn't do justice to Tuis if I tried to get them in proportion with a Kowhai tree so I decided on them squabbling over flax flowers instead.

State of mind516 viewsOur State of mind is a fragile and beautiful thing which can be destroyed by our own failings - slowly disintegrating making something that has the suggestion of what it once was - but which is now lost.
640mm X 400mm X 320mm
Dale_s_new_dreams.JPG
Dale's new beginnings.516 viewsAfter retirement beginnings a new life with new starts and challenges. The fern speaks of the life that has been - and the unfurling frond speaks of the new changes. Happy retirement Dale (SOLD)
Taste_of_Elegance.JPG
A Taste of Elegance516 viewsThis is one of the most time consuming pieces I have ever carved! It took months - to carve out the bowl of the glass, drill thousands of holes to make the laceyness, shape the leaves, and the sanding was a nightmare.
But this piece while formal, is super elegant. I uplight it at night to show the shadows and form. Its one of my current favourites.

Lizard Sun Dial515 viewsI usually make individual lizards basking on a rock but in this piece I decided that it would be fun having lizards scampering up a column.
