Hana Stoklasova Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hello everyone! About two years ago I started with woodcarving. Shortly after that, I got a chance to make a small medallion inspired by American North-west coast Native´s art (photo attached). Inspite of taking up mostly medium size sculptures, small scale carving stays as a way of personal talisman art for me. I´m interested in realistic and surrealistic sculptures touched by impressionism. After all...free creation is the most senzitive attitude for me. Have a nice day.

dennis c Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Nice work It is difficult to carve small pieces in wood ,I mostly carve in lime wood . I like the attention to detail of the eyes and teeth although can`t make out what the material you have used I am always on the look out for new ideas for carving mostly for hiking poles but also carve puppets . I have carved several hiking pole toppers and keen on art deco etc, and looking to expand this into abstract work Currantly working on the female form to sit upon a hiking pole .most of the hiking pole toppers are of wild fowl although have carved some gargoyles I will post some photos when i resize them you must post more photos when you can.

Janel Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hello Hana, Welcome! Yes, I am also interested in learning more about this piece, its materials for inlay and the main wood used. You mentioned medium size sculpture, would you share images of those as well? Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi Hana, Welcome here. I would also be interested in knowing the wood used? As for the inlay I imagine the eyes are paua and teeth some kind of mother pearl? No? Would it also be possible to have a picture of the back of the carving? Anyway, I like the way you carved this piece, and would be curious about the treatment you used for the finish of the wood, I like the aspect of the tongue, it seems raw like a real tongue would look like (english is not my first language so I hope I make myself clear) I would also be curious in the technique you used for the braid work of the "necklace".
