Ed Twilbeck Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Very cool. I love the idea and the dragon, good color ,,, awesome piece. Would you have some small pieces of the root? Just asking . I have not carved any juniper, and I enjoy carving and working with tree roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt K Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Fantastic imagination. Love seeing work like this where you start with a given natural form and then tease an image out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian C Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hi Thanks for the kind words, it was a dead standing tree at the bottom of a small cliff. It took 2 yrs of staring at the root ball before the dragon appeared. First idea was an eagle flying out of the roots but couldnt make it fit. I am still not happy with the eyes and want to inlay jade eyes. Some green and yellow , or red. I don`t know much about semi precious stones and colour or carveability, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
