Joie de vivre |
As the title says, Turning_gal took a carving class at the John C. Campbell Folk School a few months back and really took to the craft of power carving. The images below are her first attempt at carving a Chickadee! She found a root in the yard and used it as a perch on a turned base. For her first try she did remarkably well, I'm seriously proud of her. She watched a carver from South Florida on youtube and followed every step. She is so excited now to proceed with another bird and then on to bigger birds.... You go girl....   | ||

Coming from someone with absolutely no artistic talent, I think the bird is incredibly lifelike and beautiful. Very impressive. Just curious-how long did it take her to carve the bird? Bob | |||

That's awesome work, and not just for a first try. I've always admired people who could craft things with their hands. | |||

That is art. Turning_gal, big thumbs up! "I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared." Thomas Jefferson | |||

Wow. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

A lot of skill, care, and time went into it... It truly is an attractive and eye-catching piece! Is it all one piece or is the bird a separate piece from the root? Turning_gal. Does your forum name have anything to do with this marvelous and impressive skill? | |||
