LSG Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Good afternoon I started carving about 2 years ago and dabbled in many forms such as relief, in the round, etc. I've taken lessons from West Coast natives and created a wonderful moon mask and wolf plaque. I have many whimiscial carvings done in found wood, also know as bark. I use to do a bit of pen and ink drawings and I loved the detail I could get. i guess I am very detail orientated. I also enjoy minatures. The fine detail is what drives me to smaller and smaller carvings. So, you ask, where has this led you. Well, I do most carvings in Walnut Shells. Yep, those nuts you get for Christmas. I cut out the face of the nuts, scoop out the interior, put in a platform and create a full diarama inside. I have Christmas scenes, Mexican beach scenes, I have even captured the cold of the North Pole. I had hoped to have a web site up by this time with pictures, but alas, due to my fence needing to be rebuilt the web site has taken a back seat for a few weeks. I look forward to an exciting exchange of ideas, thoughts and critisms. This is the only way to grow. Thank you Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Welcome to the forum, Larry! I look forward to seeing images of what you have described above. Have you carved peach pits by any chance too? Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StixnCanes Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hello and welcome, Larry. I love to see the carvings and other art pieces here and am always looking forward to the next, but you have me as excited as a kid at Christmas. I can't wait to see your dioramas.
