The Surgeon

Here's one in the works.  This is a special project that is associated with my Mom's recent all and treatment.  While I only have the head completed the rest is still floating around in that spacious area between my ears.   I won't tell you what it is yet but guarantee it will be quite humorous.

I tried a new trick in coming up with the bows for the back of the mask and hat.  Taking a piece of very thin Tupelo I boiled it and let it soak for about an hour and then made the knots.  I then held the knots together with a clothes pin until they were dry.  A little drop of superglue on the back will hold them together until I can finally attach them to the head.  I think it really gives a neat effect and should look even better once painted.

There are several other photos in the Gallery and as always your comments are welcome and appreciated.

    Deb- Vimeo works for me, but I can't enlarge either.

    Can't wait to see this one done and what you come up with. I'm sure it will be another winner.

    WOW!!!! I worked 20 years in surgery as a PA..often thought about making a carving in OR garb, but was intimidated by the mask..yours is first rate, and blows me away. This might be my all time favorite of your carvings, cannot wait to see more.

    My Vimeo is working fine. No problems here. Lynn, I think your Surgeon is off to a great start. I can think of a lot of possibilities. Can't wait to see what you have in mind. Will it be a gift to the doc that helped your Mom?

    Don: I don't think so. I'll do a video on making a pair. It's quite easy.
