Here is the relief carving I am currently working on. It is the town in tthe movie Van Helsing. I have been working on it for about a year on and off - very off mostly. Hopefully will complete it this year.

Deborah - what's the size of this? It looks like it's worth all the work you've put into it.

Hi Nancy;

This piece is 13"x30"x2" thick. It is basswood. I haven't decided when I do all the board work on the wooden houses whether I want to burn it or just carve it. Will see what it wants me to do when I get that far.

Very nice. You've established some nice depth.

Keep us posted.

Very pleasing composition! It looks as thought you could follow the road right out of the archway! The time you have spent on it shows. I hope you'll show more pictures as you progress with it.

Deborah, I am probably too old to being using language like this but, dang that's cool.

That is an awesome scene. Well done! I love the wrap around effect you have on the buildings, and the depth gives plenty of great shadows. Very cool piece!!!

Your wonderful scene strongly reminds me of one of my favorite Charles Dickens movies: "Oliver". Well done!
