The fish will be sent to Campbellton, New Brunswick as part of a waterfront restoration project. The Lishmans received a grant from the Provincial government to purchase this $50,000 fur knitting machine to assist Paula in meeting the growing demand for her fur garments. Bill and Paula stand out in a crowd. There's a certain style about them that turns people's heads. Bill Lishman, a thin jovial man, is a famous sculptor and wood carver and his six foot- three wife Paula is a respected respected fashion designer. Together they lead a fascinating fascinating life and at the same time manage to run a peaceful country household. Mr. Lishman is an eclectic artist whose works are scattered scattered across the world, from Tykyo to his workshop in Blackstock. He began his trade in 1963 and since then has completed numerous Canadian and international international commissions. Now Lishman, the president of the company bearing his name, is seldom working on fewer than three projects at a time. His recent works include a full scale replica of the Canadian Canadian Space Remote Control Arm used by the United States Space Shuttle Columbia, and a 27 foot salmon in stainless steel designed for a waterfront restoration project in Camp bellton, New Brunswick. One of the sculptures that you are sure to be familiar with is the larger than life dragon that Bill created for a roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland. This 10 foot high, 30 foot long beast in just one of the many Lishman works on display at the new theme park. Although Mr. Lishman's accomplishments include everything from building his own hand glider' to making children's toys, it would be misleading to paint the 45 year old artist as 'all work and no play.' The father of three also has a lot of fun with his work. "I once designed a six foot dragonfly. I thought that it might help keep the mosquitos mosquitos away," he quipped. Even when Bill does create things just for fun, they often turn out to be a top selling item, as was the case with his Lishman Rocker. "I didn't intend .to sell the rocker, I'only metkfrit'because we needed an- easy, chair for the living room," chuckled Mr. Lishman thinking about the world-wide publicity the chair received. Meanwhile, Mrs, Lishman, a natural clothes designer, came up with a unique and profitable invention of her own - knitting fur. "She claims that she was cold and needed something to keep her warm," laughed her husband. Now, she designs elegant jackets and sweaters for her own company, Paula Lishman Ltd. When she's not selling in New York or California, Paula works out of her tiny Black- stock office conversing with the biggest names in fashion. Mrs. Lishman, a small-town girl from Labrador, considers this expansive business just a little something that developed developed out of à hobby in weaving weaving and sandal making. Other than the fact that they now talk with multi-million dollar corporations and deal in the complex world of business, success hasn't really changed the Lishmans 1 . They are still together and still content to live the simple life on their 100 acre Blackstock farm. Bill Lishman designs all of his own sculptures and wood carvings. He has two assistants, Richard VanHeuvelen and Andrea Smith who help him with the construction work. Photos and Story by Catherine Denny Paula Lishman is shown knitting a fur vest which may end up in New York, Paris or even Bowmanville. The chair that she is sitting on was designed by her husband a few years ago and received world wide publicity.
