| | Prodigal Son part 2 I'll bet you forgot about these....I almost did,it's been so long. Well after many distractions I finally got around to carving the second one this week. If you remember these are going on confessional doors which are about 35 ft apart from each other,,,so perfect mirror images aren't really that important,,,though I did capture them fairly accurately. Now all I have to do is carve the Holy Spirit and the trees,frame them,,,and wait for the sign acrylic to show up and get them back lit. Priest loved them by the way. |

| | Re: Prodigal Son part 2 ah there they are :-) no i have not forgotten... very nice carvings, and from small fotos look very similar :-) good work :-) ... are those folds on the backside of son intentionally made to look like flying bird (holy spirit?) ...it was not so prominent when seeing only one, but now seeing both, side by side, it is almost first what i notice |
