Marci Hi, don't ya just love that book and Susan does such a nice job of instruction. I will attach some updates as I progress along. As I mentioned before this one isn't a step by step so I have to make some discisions on my own. Taking my time so hopefully I don't make to many. LOL

Gilly, thanks I want to be able to add as much depth as I can--which should if done well really make the antelope come forward. Fingers crossed.

Thank you both, for your compliment and comments.

UPDATE

Hi All:
Here are a couple of update images. At this point I seem to be working on it as I would a painting 'all over'. In the last image I've started to work on the antelope carving for depth. By the next updates there should be a pretty dramatic change.
Thanks for looking,
Kathy

UPDATE
Not sure why the images look blurry, they looked clear in my imaging program. This time rather than scan the work I took a digital image. Maybe it will show clearer.
Sorry,
Kathy
Ok this looks much better you can see the various transitions or levels.

Yeper, You are a relief carver for sure and a good one at that. I like it! Keep it up Kathy.

Ooohhh....I like that! The transition is coming through strong and clear. Well done and keep up the good work.

Just curious, what is your deepest depth on this piece?

That is really coming along great, Kathy. Can't wait to see it finished. I am going to have to try a relief with levels soon. I've done one but I just took out the "background" then detailed what was sticking up

I've gotten hooked on the in the round carving so haven't experimented with the relief other than that one. I will be waiting to see your finished carving.

Kenny, wow thank you and I will keep working at it.

Bob, thank you too and I will post more updates as I progress.

Gilly, the deepest depth is the background where the mountain meets the horizon it's 1/2 inch deep. All levels have just about been taken down.

Nancy, thank you too, and yes please do a relief for us. I have found my favorite carve is relief. Before we left CA. (bay area) three years ago I had started a relief in clay. But had to brake it down for the move to AZ. that was my only experience with relief--other than the buffalo and now antelope. I'm thinking I'd like to redo the relief I started in CA. only this time with wood.
By the way I'm a big fan of your in the round carvings.

Thank you everyone for your compliments and comments I really appreciate you all--and the encouragement.
Kathy
