change due to rip offs

[splinters]

Due to some shmuck locally riping off most of my best selling designs i have had to up my game a bit. this is my new thistle design. this one is one of a pair the other is going to be a mirror image and they will stand either side of a garden gate.

Beautiful mate. I really like that. Don't worry it is a bit to delicate for me to copy.

And I've not copied the first one yet!

 

Looks quite contemporary.

 

Now that the snow has gone (temporarily) I'm hoping to get down for a blether.

 

Cheers

always a risk that somebody will see something and try their hand at it. is taking the piss when they start selling them on your doorstep tho. I didnt know you had another carver down your way? maybe i should start looking back over my old pics and see who has copied my shapes Ach, I'm not doing this for the money so much so i dont worry when people do it

Not sure you can stop it

I remember in Wales when butterflies started appearing on the side of buildings.

One end of a village had a tourist shop called 'The Butterfly Shop' at the other end of the village was a shop called 'The Original Butterfly Shop' Hard to guess which was first.

Thing is you have the talent to constantly change your designs and that will see you through this.

The funny part is having had a look at several of the carvings he has done you can tell wich side has been copied from photos on my FaceBook as the sides he ha had to make up himself as even worse than the side hes had a picture to copy.
