Wow Deborah that is absolutly beautiful but seeing it for real is the best. Those picutes dont give the carving justice at all it looks 100 times better in real life. Thank you for posting it I am sure as all the others do we cant wait to see what your next will be.

Question Re: Father Christmas with Swans

Deborah,

That is a wonderful carving. I assume it will be going to a gallery or has it already been sold?

I'm kinda at a loss for words! This is just beautiful! Are you going to mount the pieces to a base?
