I didn’t realise how long its been since I posted an object to this blog.
10 days is a long time, thats what you get for getting a bunch of work in all at the same time (and also discovering a curiosity for woodcuts and monotypes!!). Maybe I should post some images of my printing here aswell, something to think about anyways.
Just to let you know that I am still continuing with this plan I just have not had a lot of time recently, and paid work always comes first.
Hope to be back in a couple of days with some new work.
It was a strange old day for weather today. Drizzly all day mainly, so no long walks or walking too or from work, but we did manage to get out when the drizzle let up for a short while.
The minor hiccups I refer to in the title of the post are a couple of small incidents that occured while carving the shape of Neville. The back foot was shortened by the gouge going all the way through the wood, no mean achievement when it is 3cm thick but not what was wanted today. As you can see the foot is so short that it does not provide the balance.
Instead Neville balances on his belly and the bottom tentacle, which shows the other minor hiccup that took place, while being sanded the end of the tentacle popped off and flew across the workshop. The tentacle ended up being a lot shorter but luckily the piece still balances nicely on it!
