A couple of years ago, we created a collection of wooden carvings at Abberton Reservoir based upon the Brambly Hedge book series by Jill Barklem. Hand crafted and painted at out workshop in Norfolk, they formed part of a nature trail, encouraging families to spend more time in the great outdoors – of course that meant they would be at the mercy of the Great British weather. After a couple of years living outside, day and night, we paid a visit to check how they were doing and for the most part, they look as good as they day they left the workshop. Take a look at the photos below to see how they have stood up to the weather over the past couple of years.
The Brambly Hedge carvings look as if they have only just been put there Jamie, very impressive. I follow your posts and knowing your father Russell as I do you’re evidently a chip off the old block.
Glad you like them – I actually think they look better now that the grass has grown around them and they fit into the natural environment. We do both like making things… just quite different things!
