A Prince among wood sprites? Surely he must be! Look he has a crown on!? I’ve put in place a self-imposed ban on making these sprites as they seem to be quickly taking over the house! Until I start making more again I’m just going to drip feed the existing ones to you! Available to [...]
I have blogged about these before, so won’t bore you with the details again. I have been trying to get some decent individual shots of them though and having struggled with lighting and props I finally managed to get some pictures for the shop, I’m rather please with them so I thought I might as [...]

Skot is another artist found through DeviantArt where he goes by the name Lord Hoki, living on Austrailia’s East Coast Skot works in a variety of media creating a range of drawn, painted and sculpted objects. Much of his DeviantArt account is taken up with his Hoki range of work such as those pictured below: [...]
I had promised to have this finished by April 2009, so obviously I’m delighted to have finished it before it goes a full year past my own self-imposed ‘due date’! Like most of his erstwhile and largely forgotten friends Gruber is keen on world domination, although it’s perhaps telling that he and his cohorts are [...]
I’ve really been taken by the work of Kezeff, another artist I found on DeviantArt. I’ve only been following them for a short period, but even in that time I have been fairly impressed not only by the quality of their work but by the creativity behind it and the seemingly highly effective execution of [...]

It’s always a bit of struggle for me to get back into the swing of the craft thing following the festive frivolities, of course it hasn’t helped that we were on emergency fuel rations until our delivery arrived Wednesday and I had to spend the next three days shifting it up the hill to the house [...]
Sewing is really Jolene’s thing, obviously I’m far more interested in manly arts and crafts rather than these silly women’s past-times!

Better late than never. I finally managed to get the guy dressed and delivered to the shop on Tuesday, a bit later than I had hoped, although this was largely as a result of not being able to find any suitable clothing for the chap … the hat, for example, wasn’t exactly what I had in [...]
I’ve developed a real joy out of making these little characters, generally I’ll closet myself away in the workshop, put on some Razorlight and get into a general carving frenzy. This batch were made using some of the last remains of the silver fir and elm, although I do have some european larch, Birch and Ash [...]
