Okay.....if he's getting a haircut why is he wearing his glasses? Well, if he's anything like me he's blind as a bat without those spectacles so to look in the Barbers mirror to review the results of having his ears lowered he had to put them on. Sounds good to me!

This was fun to do and mostly happend by accident. I had originally wanted to do an old lady with beer can curlers in her hair but while whittling a neckerchief for another stopper and seeing that head laying on the workbench things just "clicked"! I think it's pretty neat! I used an old brush to clip off some bristles for the hair and locked them in place with some ModPodge. Someday I might try and do a complete figure...that would really be a winner.

Nice one,I'm sure they'll bring enough to get you home again, I don't know how you get it all done, while I am trying to figure one out you have done four.And I don't have horses and a ranch to look after.Keep up the good work, we'll be dreaming of ever getting one done

Lynn, can only imagine what the original idea would have looked like. I am one of those blind as a bat guys! A full sized carving in the barber chair holding a mirror getting a look at the new cut would be neat.. better yet how about the chair, figure and the barbers station and mirror in the background with him getting a look at the back of his hair cut. That would be neat!

L.O.D.,
ReplyDeleteYour work is amazing; truly original and just fascinating.
My daughter has a horse & rides English so I have started to try adjusting your saddle tutorial to carving an English version for her.
The going is slow, but the tutorial is excellent.
Thank you for sharing your talents.
All the best,
