I could carry on working on this piece forever but I fear I may carve away the spirit of the piece so I’ve decided to call it finished. I’ve also settled on the name ‘Chrysalis’ to reflect on struggle being a step on the path to change and to freedom. I have loved the process carving her and, though I will forever see the flaws in my work, it has been an incredible learning experience. I really hope that you like her too! #objects #sculpture #woodsculpture #finecraft #artisan #maker #fineart #artist #designermaker #galleryart #woodworking #woodenspoons #woodart #woodcraft #finewoodworking #slowdesign #handmademovement #traditionalskills #woodcrafts #woodcarving #uniquestyle #woodsculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/CjK_aQWKVQd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Pink Dragon Box
[IMG ID: A series of pictures of a wooden box, painted with a dragon-design. From top: A metallic blue sky melding into purple and pink at the bottom. Spiral-stylised clouds rimmed in gold float through the sky and there is a large snake-style / vaguely Asian-style dragon at forefront. The dragon has black horns, neon pink scales, white scutes rimmed in gold and black horns. It has a small mane and tail in pale green highlighted in blue. Two separate pictures depict the sides of the box, featuring parts of the dragon winding off the edge of the bottom. The last photo shows the inside of the box, which is painted in black with golden highlights including a stylised sun and sunbeams in the top, winding vines in the bottom and my initials. The edges are lined in gold ribbon. /END IMG ID].
A pencil box I painted for myself to keep my drawing pencils, erasers, sharpeners, pens, etc. in. Acrylic on wood with gold ribbon trim. Lots of metallics and neons.
Another project in progress. Check my page to see more projects coming to life. Added some@white washed out paint. Not sure if that is the final color I want for it. Need some input friends!! Lights still needs to be added soon. Either I want some rustic grey or some crackled white.
