Friday 8th July – Yesterday I spent some time at “Curlew Workshop” in Port Albernie with my Shorebird carving mentor David Parks.
I had taken six roughed out shorebirds for him to critique.
David was kind in suggesting just a few style changes that I am now making.
However, with low tide and a pleasant evening on hand I took them to our beach and set up the raw decoys for some photos.
I have really enjoyed working on these birds achieving a suitable soft rounded feel all over each body so that with my eyes closed they “feel real” 🙂
