great place to keep left overs in for a cheeky second breakfast too

Cheers for the advice, I can see where you mean. Just don't have the skills to correct water colours. I'll put up pics of any oils/acylics I end up doing for critique if you don't mind? It's the first time i've done anything other than birds with watercolours, should really take some lesson as...

I've not painted anything for about 10 years now with the last things some abstract oils of russian miners! Got the itch yesterday on arriving home from work and finished off this Tiger water colour. I'm really pleased with how it came out so treated myself to a mounting cutter. The mount is...

defo mate i'm hitting the uk in may so sure can sort something out and a paddle

Congratulations mate all the best with the coming wedding Will

Indeed a very beautiful animal I would of much rather taken photos of it alive and well. i wouldn't have been so happy to see a Papuan black snake whilst tramping down that road though. Very unfortunate and there must only be 2-3 wagons down/up this road a day. Not sure I'll make anything...

A small (2m isn) Papuan carpet python had been hit by a vehicle on one of the bush roads near where i'm working in PNG. The big sea eagles you get around here had yet to do their worst (most snakes don't last long all the big ones within hours are a heaving mess). They are really beautiful...

I have quite a few good photos of the kayaks from when I was in Greenland. I'd have to email them once back in the UK I have limited internet in Equatorial Guinea they should give a decent idea photo wise to compliment any written instructions. Will

Thanks, though hats off to you for taking on so many you have done a top job so far. My skins have always been alum tanned (it was something i was taught to do since a child by my father) and the oil stage was just to make the hide supple and soft. I'd suggest that this needs to be done after...

I make mine soft and flexible by using neatsfoot oil and dragging over the edge of a thick piece of glass (a burnished edge table) and it works a treat. Doesn't take long to work then up and they become nice and flexible even if left to go hard before. bison skin is on my list of must do never...

apply birthday Kev :)

To be honest i think the Ozzys over egg it a bit. The most dangerous places are the cities (Port Moresby not very pleasant) but if you have travelled in developed countries its no great shakes (places to avoid, minimal trip out in urban area after dark, not looking like a tourist etc). I never...

not sure yet John. Only just got back but off on a course for work next week and really need to get away again straight after. Trying to recoup some funds after my wedding and nearly 2 months in NZ and San fran. I'll make any meet if i'm in country and hopefully will make the knapping

Happy birthday Tom hope your well Will

A quick turn around after getting back from Greenland this Summer saw me 2 weeks after begin my journey out to Papua New Guinea (PNG). 6 weeks spent working and travelling around the River systems and jungle of the Southern Highlands and Gulf provinces of PNG. The wildlife and scenery is...
