Sometimes Life Gets in the Way of Art........

So … it has been a while! But here I am at last back in the workshop doing what I love best.- weaving some magic with willow The brief was a pair of dinosaurs as a centrepiece for for a dinosaur themed wedding which could be kept as a momento of the special day. I researched the apatosaurus the diplodocus but settled on the brachiosaurus . This particular beast had larger front legs than hind which gave it a rather graceful sloping back and a long neck that I could curve beautifully so that if a pair were placed together their necks would form the silhouette of a heart.- just right for a romantic day. And it was rather a labour of love! The greatest challenge for me was the fact that it involved four pairs of legs - that’s eight legs and (amazingly) 8 feet! I often think feet are one of the hardest things to get right but I got there in the end and the the bride and groom were delighted on their special day. A very happy couple which is what it was all about.
