Big in Japan!

This is what you get in Photoshop when you hit the Save for Web command! :) My son, Daniel, has just returned from Japan and took this photo in one of the national parks near Tokyo. This spider is hooge! And I was thinking how we were talking about that massive spider, fossil larvae on the message board recently and promised to post a pic of this one so, here it is.

Dan says it was as big as his hand nearly and that the webs were just everywhere! Imagine strolling thru that in a morning on your way to work and having to dust one of them suckers off yer jacket!

So, been getting the workshop ready today for this weeks classes and really looking forward to meeting a couple of guys who chat often on the messageboard, it will be good to put a face to an ip address! We are holding a Beginners Class Tuesday for 4 students and then, 2 will stay on at the farm workshop for the rest of the week for a more intensive course. One of our students is coming over from Ireland and is a very talented sculptor, so I'll be interested in chatting more about his work as I have a great love for 3D and sculpture. I try to make my Airbrush Courses 'tailor-made' to individual students and not simply set out a rota which everyone has then to stick to. All students are different and some are more experienced than others so it makes sense to develop the course as it goes. We do of course have a skeleton structure . . in fact, we have a few skulls too!

And talking of skulls . . just printing off a few at the mo for the class tomorrow so better go check to see the printer hasn't run out of paper! Check back later in the week to see how the guys and gals are all getting along at the workshop and I'll post some pics at the end of the week.
