Didn't have my camera with me Dohhhhh

But we were in Ballantrae (I think) and on the foreshore is a wooden statue of an old salt gazing out to sea. Having walked past it and admired it of course we noticed we were missing our Rottweiller Bruce. Turning round he was sat in front of the statue, every now and again he would nuzzle its "hands" which were folded in front, waiting to be petted. What a job we had dragging him away, he didn't like being ignored!! Must've been his feminine side.

Hi Dylan,

I have been told that the Manor House had a lot of trees that where felled due to dutch elm disease.

A local boy had left the area and become a tree sculpture. They invited him back to do something with the trees. A good number of them are in the grounds of the Manor House, but this one seems to have been neglected and left to ruin. At one time when I moved in during 1999 I was going to try and buy it and make it a feature in the garden!

We go to Westonbirt Arboretum where they have competitions of tree sculpting using chainsaws! A few years ago I bought this for Claire:



NOTE. Duly changed before Stew gives me a hard time!!

As you can see it is a lady with long hair made into a heart. We saw the artist but not doing this piece. At the time they where creating things such as larger than life men on horse back all created with chainsaws. Truly amazing to watch.

Regards

Chris

Hi Jim,

No I just did the adjustment on the main picture. However, as it was only messing around I reckon at one point I will go back and have another go.

Its beautiful Chris, I have seen the chainsaw art before, I have asked Mark to make some seats out of some felled oak but I'm still waiting. I would love some birds of prey near the pond they would look really great when the real buzzard and red kite come down to drink - well I can dream !

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the link, will look at it later.

Hi Dylan,

There does not seem to be an event at Westonbirt this year. Pity, I was going to suggest a meet nearby!

Lots of carvers around the country if you google.

Regards

Hi

Nice one Chris.

What I did was lift the image this morning and then change it. I then sent this to Chris without any info as to what I had done.

When I saw him a few weeks ago we had touched on PS technique. Also PS is quite intuitive in that once you get into the PS way of thinking the search for other methods become so much easier.

I am as pleased as punch that Chris was able to completely work it all out for himself.

Layers are a big thing with PS, as Jim says.
