1. Figure out just what he's holding.
2. Cut the openings for the claws. I've already carved them.
3. Carve inserts to go in front of and behind the braids.
4. Paint.
5. Insert and fix the claws permanently in place.
This is a pretty large piece....standing about 17" with the base. There will be some designs and pictographs on the robe so he should really be a colorful piece. Hope you will agree.
Looks good, I don't know how you do it. Time after time. Another good one . I just saw the OPsade Cowboy. He is my favorite so far. Of course I love the Cowboys.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a video of you putting a cowboy on a Horse for us. Maybe in the near furture. Ginny
Both of the new ones are great. I think the Indian would look good holding a tomahawk..with some feathers or braids on the handle. The cowboy is great. Like Ginny I too look forward to someday seeing you put the cowboy o the horse. Great job on both..you sure have been busy.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Black Buffalo holding a pipe. There are a lot of old photos of important men holding pipes in this pose. Also, a horned headdress like this could have a few eagle feathers hanging down on the back side. Nice work as always!
ReplyDeleteOOPs type-o error I ment Osage Cowboy. But I think you knew what I was trying to say. Thanks Ginny
