 An experiment!!! I finished this woodspirit at our meeting last Thursday night. I had been hauling this chunk of aspen around in the trunk of my car since last summer. I carved him a little off center and the flat back of the piece will allow for him to hang on a wall facing off to the right. I thought he might look a little better if I painted in the eyes, then maybe if the beard was painted he'd look better the next thing you know I had painted the whole face. I kinda like the look. The height of the piece is 10". What do you think? Scott  |

| Re: An experiment!!! Scott...REAL NICE spirit! I like his face and the painting really sets it off in the dark wood background....in my humble opinion, you made a good choice. Bonnie  |

| Re: An experiment!!! Hey Scott, ditto on the eyes like Colin said, they are really well done. I've saved you're larger picture to study them, you really have them down pat. I agree with the painting as well. Cliff |

| Re: An experiment!!! Scott, Your wood spirit is great! Like Tucker I'm saving your pics too. I've looked at a lot of wood spirits, and as great as they are, I just couldn't get the mechanics of the carving in my head--the eyes, the nose, etc. I looked at yours and bam!! I can see it now. That's what I like about this forum--you hang around long enough, and magic happens! Thanks! Bob L Last edited by Just Carving : 01-15-2008 at 08:20 AM. |
