| | Cottonwood bark witch Don't ask me how this happened, but this carving started out as a Gnome home. I was putting in a couple roof lines and one of them ran into trouble with crumbly wood. I had started a pumpkin that was going to set in front of the house and when the roof went bad I suddenly saw a witch sitting on the pumpkin. I named it "the Mother inlaw" but it has no resemblance to my Mother Inlaw.  |

The Mother Inlaw has not seen her yet but she will. The carving is not really that big, it measures 5 inches wide by 11 inches tall and is 2 3/4 inches thick. It is a side profile and really did start out as a gnome home. I hate to ruin a good peice of bark and will make something work even if the original plan gets screwed up. I have a dragon I started about a year ago, but haven't got a good plan to finish it. Someday.......... Thinking about starting another witch. Kind of a fun carving to do Always looking for something a little different to try. |
