Well……Judy read me the riot act after filming this one. Seems I was jerking that head around so much she was having a hard time following it. I apologize and promise I will try to keep it in the frame but a guy has to see what he’s doing don’t he?

First, a special note! You might want to wait till Part 3 is up before starting to whittle along with me on this one. I was not satisfied with the cheek bump so I performed a little facial surgery to increase the material to allow for a larger bulge. I’ll explain what I did in the next video. . If it works great! If it doesn’t I’ll be back to square one.

One thing I noted when watching the video is that some might find it a little boring as I take off a chip or two then stop for a look then take off another chip or two then take another look and then continue on. Well, that’s the creative process at work and I’m not going to edit it out as I think it’s important to see the entire process from the smallest chip to the larger one.

ReplyDeleteWe're used to the "movement" of your carving Lynn. Not to worry, because as you say "it's all in the creative process". We're hangin' in there with ya chip for chip......but Judy.....keep him under your direction..lol!
ReplyDeleteCarve a chip...look at it, turn a bit and look again, turn back to the first angle and look again....repeat 700 times and you have a carving. That's the way we all carve, and we don't mind watching you do it either, kind of fun seeing that you go and carve out the next chip just like we are thinking we would..great minds think alike. Only thing is, when I take that chip off, it doesn't look as good as when you do it...that is why I am watching the video. Thanks for the latest installment.
ReplyDeleteNice job Lynn, and I do see how you fashioned the eyebrows to get the forelorn look. Fun watching you carve this one and I will wait before I start carving this one. Thanks so much to you and Judy. You bothnare great. fred k
ReplyDeleteI am new ("brand" new) to carving and your blog. Appreciate what you are doing. Very different from others I've seen. No need to apologize. I know that as I get my knife into some more wood, I'll have many questions. Thank you and look forward to more of what you have to share. :)
