As Will would say,"your at a great place to start"."Carve Deeper" is my mantra now, sometimes, when its convenient, or I screw something up and need to cut it out. There is also the philosophy that no art is ever "done". Glad you took a another look :) |

The finish suits that piece, it brings out some depth that was not showing before. When something's not working for me, the temptation is to keep going to get it right but sometimes you just have to leave it and maybe come back to it later... Why not do something completely different and come back to this idea on a new piece? I like the bird coming out of the mouth thing. Thanks for sharing your process! |
