Marc sent me this photo of his work last year.

I've lost Marc's email, sorry mate, but saved the images because they look so good. Click here to see both the photos Marc sent.

Terry recently sent me a few photos of his work. Well, more than a few really, 60 photos. That's right, sixty.

This motor bike is a beauty. I wish I'd designed it. You can see the rest of Terry's images here.

Gloria sent me this image of her first attempt at the Kookaburra design. (Click the thumbnail to see a larger image.)

I am worried about the one eyed teddy bear. But he did donate his eye to a good cause.



She attended a workshop up the coast at Mackay in Queensland. Good attempt Gloria.  Read More......
