WIP – Rock and Roll Santa - 2


Little bit more progress on the Rock and Roll Santa




I'll be using the natural ridges of the cypress knee for the back of Santa's coat to show the flow of the fabric.


The face is in stages of roughing out and then I'll will be adding detail.


That's it for now and happy creating to everyone in Blogland!

Patriotic Santa is done!

Got the Santa Carving done before the snow begins today! 
What a mixed up seasonal Santa...it's suppose to be spring now and we are getting snow sometime today and Santa is dressed in patriotic colors. 
Soooo the season is Spring and Santa's clothing is for the Summer holiday of the 4th of July and Christmas is the winter season.   Confused yet????




Have a great weekend everyone!

Uncle Sam Freedom Ride


Uncle Sam is enjoying his Freedom today! 
 
The wood carving was designed around the vintage wooden stirrup
This is a treasure I got last summer and then before Christmas I looked at it and knew what it should be!  Well....it's been half started since then and I got tried of looking at it half done so I did what the famous saying is "Get R Done".  Hope everybody in blog land is having a great week!
