This is outstanding. I’m in awe. The mermaid’s eyelashes are amazing. What wood is this, what tool did you use to create the detail of the fur, was this a commission, and how long did this take?
Sweet work! Do you laminate lime or basswood for those larger pieces ? Keep it up. Man I’d love to talk Carving for an hour in the shop with you. I’ve been a carving hermit for a long time. Maybe it’s good to get out of the shell sometimes. Your paint really pops and digs depth nicely. That’s a super fun carving to look at. How long did it take ?
