Mother and Child

Finally got around to doing some real work.


These two have been hanging around for a while, I saw the piece(s) almost immediately but needed to step back and make sure that my judgement was correct. In fact it probably only took about 1.5 hrs to get the Mother right, the Child had been created last year.



I'm really happy with the end result, as you can see from the gloss.....they are both highly polished and dare I say it....compliment each other.




Just need to find a Customer now........I suppose I could always buy them myself, yeah thats a good idea. Maybe not..........


I really love the way the Mother looks almost duck like....leaning forward. Can you hear her quacking??

Minister Of Police

This is great....We now have another Minister of Police.....The last one was a woman, now we have an Ex-Postman.....

Hmmmmmm I'm in a real dilemma now because I have a very good friend over the pond in Texas who used to be a Postman.........

Ok lets put this to good use.

I reckon that everyone should be a Postman/Woman for at least one day. What do you reckon Mark?

I've done it and I lasted three days, I take my hat off to all Postmen/Women, it is the most under-rated job in the World. You get abuse from everyone, nothing is ever right.

Ok they get paid to do the job, but hey when you approach a house, what do you expect?....Is the front door going to burst open and a mad axeman lurch towards you intent on chopping you into little bits?

Possibly not, highly probably not.....but you really dont know. One of my main fears when I used to drop (we called but you were out) was "THE DOG "....You would knock on the door/ring the bell and then wait, no sounds came from the house. Ok thats cool no ones home, write "We called and you were out note" and then put it through the letter box....

As your fingers enter the letter box with the note attached.....GGGRGRGRGRRGGR a mad dog leaps from no where and tries to chomp off your fingers....

Only Postmen/Women, Service People have experienced this phenomenon.....

Also it is the lack of consideration of the size of the letter box......."How the hell am I supposed to get this letter through such a small opening....?"..........

Very well Mr Johnstone....You have my respect (your Desert Island disc choices were a delight) but can you restore the peoples faith in "The Long Arm of The Law"?.......Cos right now I reckon it's just about as low as it can get........
