This is a figure I've been working on for quite a while. I first got the idea up at the Kansas City Woodcarving show. It portrays a cowboy, spinning his rope. The Texas Skip is the action of spinning the rope parallel with the body and jumping or skipping through it as you move it back and forth. It's a fairly difficult move and I have yet to accomplish it. One of these days though I will do it.I've got the rope made but will not put it with the figure until the piece is painted. It ought to look pretty impressive once that rope is suspended and spinning.
Lots of photos in the gallery.
I know I have said it before, but the detail is just unbelievable. Looking at your gallery pictures on this, I clicked on the individual pictures and a higher resolution of that picture comes up. It really shows the detail. Thanks so much for taking the time to post these.....Myron
ReplyDeleteWell done I really admire the detail and emotion your figures convey.
