Thanks Kinny! Yeah, the grain on that ficus is so amazing I hated to mess it up with all that woodburning! :) I'm still intending to do something fun with that paper, I'll keep you posted.

Zaya, I really dig the organic feel and flow of this piece. Makes me want to jump into the ocean and splash around

Hi Daves Not Home, nice to hear from you! That's a cool compliment, I'm glad it could bring out a fun feeling! :)

So this weekend it was back to the baseball field for practice again so I took advantage of the free time. I picked up this piece of wood and decided to do a little drawing on it. Here is some of what I did...

It was the first time I ever tried to draw one of these guys. I think the most challenging part was to try and make the patterns appear as though they were carved. Still learning! It's been really fun though. Hopefully I'll get to do some more real soon.

Thanks for looking!
