Work in Progress: Birds on a Branch
|
The carved pieces are my favorite pieces but they do take longer to create. When I started working on this piece I had envisioned two birds on a wire. But as I worked on the piece I ended up going a totally different direction. I ended up cutting the wood that I originally painted for the base and incorporating not only a branch for the birds to sit on but one above them. Stay tuned to https://www.facebook.com/JNicholsArt/ and https://www.instagram.com/jnicholsart/ for in progress photos.

Work in progress: Owl on a Branch
|
|
In the fall I demonstrated carving this owl at the Roy's Folks event. I set the piece down the wrong way and broke the branch. My dad, who has taught me all I know about wood working, showed me how to repair the break. I was able to finish carving the branch after the glue dried. I have since glued the wings on the body and begun gluing the eyes on the head of the owl. Stay tuned for more in progress photos.
