Tama,

Here's a face coming to life with no lines - just free carving. I love to just remove wood and uncover the facial features. They just appear and slowly get refined as I go. This is the type of carving that is truly relaxing for me. Lines and boundaries make me fee confined and stressed. Similarly to what Benz stated, I think this is where the true art/artist lies.

Be bold!

Blocked out...

The face uncovered...
