I love a parent photo after a gig! Look at this gorgeous cheeta! She sat perfectly for painting.

Spooky season approaches.
You can hire my skills for your party centre piece carved pumpkin.
Prices start at £20 and can be basic or highly detailed 10 hour masterpieces. You choose the pumpkin and the design for me to work on. (Pumpkin must have a flat bottom to sit on so as not a wobblekin pumpkin. )

Incredibly energetic 5 years olds party today. Lovely to paint this age group. All wanted butterflies including the boys. The parents were so appreciative of my hard work. They even tipped me! It is hard work. Painting moving targets in a very short few minutes. I loved the request for racoon and Koala too. As usual I was too busy to take photos.

Hello I’m back! Apologies for lack of replies if you’ve messaged me or tagged me. I’ve been camping on Dartmoor making music with beautiful people. Zero signal.
I’ll be in touch tomorrow when I’m grounded again

We often come as a double act!
Great party combination for any venue. Here we are in the woods.

On such a sad day I am sharing a
lovely commision during the summer for a place so close to my heart on Dartmoor… the customer kindly sent me a photo of it installed.

Got some professional new pencils now awaiting tidal inserts to be made in Cornwall and then cut and prep the timber for making those popular clocks I’ve been commissioned for.

13/10/2021

After 3 years since making this and it not selling, I’ve decided to put into action.
Wistaway is currently only taking commissions from now on. I’ll be not attending any events with pre made stock for sale.
I will be still able to do some works to order for special gifts for Christmas. Please give me plenty of time to avoid any disappointment as I’m pretty busy teaching 4 days a week now.
