F F f flamingo


All righty then! I finished my wood carving. It has really 'fat' legs. While shaving the wood for legs, and before painting it, the back [left] leg broke. I glued it on. Did some sanding to erase the seal somewhat, and stopped carving so it wouldn't break again. So...fat legs. Anyway, some asked that I share it when done whether I thought it was good enough. Well, I don't think it IS.  It's very primative...but I share it N E way. After staining the twisted piece I was to use for the 'fallen tree', I then brought out the pink, yellow, white and black acrylic paints and painted the bird...



I then mounted it all on a small square mirror for balance and reflection...



By on

    I love it and it's fat legs. I've got fat legs myself so I can relate. You are so artistic. Is there anything you can't do?

    Fat legs or not, I think it looks great. I certainly couldn't do this!

    I love it! You can really tell it is a Flamingo, too. Hand made art is the best!

    I have to wonder how long you been doing wood craving? One of my client is getting a set of wood craving tools. Not from me although they ask me to get them.
    Coffee is on
