One for the Ladies

[Blinky Bill]

G'day again,
was approached by a lady who runs a Beading supply shop and learning centre and asked if I could carve Cabuchons that her students could incorporate into their work. Said I'd give it a try..........carved this greenman style face about 1½"x¼" but wasn't happy with it, showed the woman and asked if it was what she wanted if so, I would trash this and make some better.......she asked could she keep it and ask students what they thought, I said ok and a couple of weeks later she called me to see the creation shown below......still do not like the face but I feel that the young woman responsible has done a wonderful job....
Regards to all
John

Hey John,

That's one interesting project. Your carved face is fine. I suspect they will want more, and each one will be different. I like the whole thing, and also suspect that it will be copied quite a bit.

Hi John,
I like it too! Sometimes we're too critical of our own work, nice job!

Very interesting John, Your face looks great, and I like the way she worked in the grapes, and leaves around the face. I think the two of you have hit upon a winner.

Hi John,

That is one very beautiful piece. You ought to be proud. She really turn your carving into a piece of art with that elaborate bead work. You know they'll want more faces.

One never knows how others appreciate our craft. See they loved it. Way to go John. Carve on....

That is really impressive I really like what you two have accomplished. Thanks for sharing

I like it too.

My wife also does things with beads. I think I will show her to see if she would like to try that someday.

See? just started and someone already want to copy you...

Great job,

Gilles
