Artisan Crafts / Woodworking

Finally, after many months of stop and start I've finished this piece of carving. Mushrooms carved into a beautiful slice of acacia wood I found in the forest. I love the way the colours change as it gets towards the bark and I chose a natural subject which I hope complements the form of the wood. I waxed the mushrooms and the surround with a clear wax but tried to keep background unwaxed as a contrast. Photo by the talented Wavepanther71.

This is a beautiful piece of relief carving, very nicely created all around, your choice of wood brings out your talent!

~Shoshannah84 Aug 21, 2012

Thank you, thats very kind! I still feel very much a beginner, but I know that I learn with each piece. I,m trying to do a hare in relief now, much more tricky. I,ll post it up whenever I finish it! I do admire your work, especially the faces carved into branches and I would love to come across one of your houses in the woods! Wishing you well, stay in touch! :}

Claire, this is really great! I love the manner you integrated the dark branch, as well as how you left sapwood and bark. very well done!
Keep on sculpting, dear!

finally some decent woodwork

~Shoshannah84 Apr 15, 2012

Its true you don't see much wood sculpture on DA but it does take a long time. (I thought you meant finally something decent from me!) Hope thats not the case and you enjoy the rest of my gallery too.

~Nick2584 Apr 15, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

yeah,I was saying for dA in general,
you do have a nice gallery,and I know how hard it is to work in wood,
I am currently educating myself for being a sculptor.

~Shoshannah84 Apr 16, 2012

I'm pretty much self taught too, I did a one week course which was useful but not essential, the best thing is to keep experimenting, I'd like to work much bigger but no one trusts me with a chainsaw ;>
