I work in the direct method of gyotaku (as opposed to the indirect method) where you apply pigments directly to the subject and then transfer the image onto your paper or fabric. There's a lot that goes into prep, inking, and transfer, none of which I should really be talking about here on TC. I've been doing it a long time and have sent my gyotaku all over the world. I enjoy working with the art form very much. It is very different from chainsaw carving and takes a real careful touch :) You can get more info and see more pics on my homepage. I haven't updated any of the pics up there for a few years, and my work has progressed, but you'll get the idea. Thanks for asking, Gman "The saw is family" [ Edited by: GMAN 2005-12-19 18:35 ]
