I stand corrected.

I'm with Milko. Well, I'm not /with/ him, but I like Morrissey and I'm glad his new songs are in the same style of the ones he used to do.

Nah, I'm bored with that now. I need a new challenge.

Write a book called "101 Other Uses for a Penis".

Could ask them people that do Penis Oragami. I hear it's a fascinating stage show.

OK

 

I just need 100 more.

 

btw, that drum bit in Black Betty is really difficult to do with just one .... stick.

(good one)

I've always liked puppet shows.

OMFG!!!!

Nice wood.

Ooooo! Are them spots on the snow leopord painted?

I tried to read all of that.

 

I got to post 300 and gave up because it's just like the Neverending Story.

 

4.

Wow. Very very nice!

They're indented with a rounded tool (fnurrrr!) and filled with dark wax.

Arrr.. very clever.

Much as I hate to drag this monumental thread back on topic, for those who don't know, the talented creator of this artistry is our very own Steve Manthorp, bummer of innocents, creator of wood (same thing). I'm just hosting those photos.

 

Oh, and Steve - I meant to say before, but surely getting the cracked ball back to a state where it is admired as a finished product is no different from creating the thing from scratch.

 

It's wood -> process -> art.

 

When you submit a piece that has gone smoothly, does anyone stop to ask if it has been an easy or tough process? No. they don't.

 

There's no need to feel uneasy that you have passed on a ball that was once cracked. You got the raw wood to the comissioned result.

 

If anything, the recipient should be thrilled that this particular "Manthorp" has had it's own unique history (including this thread).
