steve_b_wales Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Mel's dear wife, Lyn, made a walking stick for my wife, and she was over the moon with it. 100% craftsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Similarly here, but my wife refuses to take it out in case she marks it or breaks it. Serious works of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious works of art. Tell freda to use it nev , the sticks are pretty tough , but if she does break it , lin could make her a copy 👍. 12 hours ago, moondoggy said: Nice work, must take her a while to do? 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍 Those badges/brooches only take minutes ( i think they're fantastic) , but each stick takes quite a few hours of work . Just peeling the bark takes hours because she takes it off in tiny pieces , that leaves the wood with a hammered finish . When I mention how inefficient this method is , she has one of those artistic hissy fits , because it's " her style " 😅. 4 hours ago, ditchman said: when i get moved and set up again...im going to send you some knife handles for Lin to do some niaeve scrimshaw on them.... I reckon that she'd love a go at that. 1 hour ago, Walker570 said: She doesn't do erotic stuff you know. She would for that old smoothy ditchman😅. Thankyou for the kind words gents . She'll be chuffed when I show her. It's a shame that the pics aren't so great , because the sticks and badges look so much better in the flesh.

She hasn't started selling them yet mate , she's still doing her artistic temperament thing , and changing them , and flouncing around like noel cowerd , but I'll tell her not to change the bird one 👍. I can't be completely sure , but I think she mentioned that they would be for sale at £6.00 , but please don't hold me to that price , because I don't always listen when she's talking 😳😳😳. I get used to seeing the things that she makes , so I just sort of get used to lovely stuff being around , and don't really take much notice of stuff , but these brooches/badges have really made me sit up and take notice . Each one is a stunning little unique work of art . I really wish that everyone could see how perfect they look in the flesh . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Cheers nev. I find these tiny little pyrographed and painted brooches absolutely fascinating . I wonder if she could do a knife handle , then seal it with a clear resin ?, that would look pretty cool . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
