English version of my blog
Hi,
As some people told me they were disapointed that they couldn't read my blog written in French, just wanted to let you know i decided to make an English version (even if there are more pictures than text ).
There are only the older posts now but i'm working to translate the rest of it. I try to add a few more every day.
Here it is :

Thanks for taking the time and going to the effort to make your work more accessible.
I'm rusty but seemed OK with the original in French.
The replication of the mirror frame is the most fascinating project to me.

Thanks RV, hope my english hasn't got too rusty as well.
I'm watching english sitcoms to try to maintain.

Fanbloodytastic work mate! (yep, that's a compliment in Australian).
Now, a couple of questions if you don't mind.?
1. Are those goats that live nearby wild ones or domestic ones?.
2. How are your carpel tunnels going?.
Cheers

Artful, the goats are domestic, they're my parent's... best goat cheese in the area !
My carpel tunnels are going better, thanks for them . It hurt several years from time to time because I didn't took care working in...masonry. Left wrist still a bit weak sometimes.
I'd be worrying more with a tendinitis when I work too hard but it's OK so far.

Hmm, nice goats. Also pretty cool you make cheese from them. Our guys are not so lucky, we eat them...well the lambs anyway.DSCF3126.JPGDSCF3124.JPGDSCF2915.JPGDSCF2909.JPG.......Oh yeah! gotta watch those carpel tunnels as well. I can tell from your work that you have done lots of chisel work in the past. Had to have what they call a "Carpel tunnel release" on my right hand about a year and a half ago. Not really a huge deal but it does put you out of action for a while.DSCF2863.JPG

Some very beautiful carving! Thanks for making it available for us that are not smart or ambitious enough to learn more than one language. Looks to me like your english is better than most english speaking people.

Wow nice horns, artful.
I'll try to take it easy with my carpels !
PLD, Thanks for your feedback, It's good to have an opinion from an english speaking person about my...english.

Thanks. That first shell reminds me of an early carving I did of an eagle putting its beak into its chest feathers. You have to sort of stand yours up to get an idea of what I mean.
