Rivahaven --The face..

While at the Tauranga Art and Garden Festival last week we came across this 'bloke'.. I think he was actually carved out of a stump as he seemed to be 'attached'.. .. This was in a very large garden and the poor lady that was the owner/gardener fell and broke her hip just 3 weeks prior to the Festival .. but she boxed on and 'supervised' her husband from the deck..

Shame we didn't hear the story from somewhere else as it looks like she is an artiste! I think this guy is winking!

Great carving. It looks huge. It would be interesting to know more about it.

Terrific :)

A pretty amazing carving. What a shame the owner had a fall as she would've been itching to be out helping in the garden.
