Not Lost Just Found

There is an old story where when a sculptor was asked how he was able to carve people out of stone he replied "simple you just remove everything that doesn't look like the person".  Well actually it is not so easy but indeed you are trying to find the item hiding in the wood.  Today I started out to carve an angel but my plans were changed by a piece of wood that said it wanted to be something else.

What I saw in this piece of wood was a heart so lets get started.

Now for the first section.

One side carved lets do the next.

Halfway there. 

Three quarters done

All done now let's add a little something extra.

Time for the paint

Now for the antiquing.

And now you know what was hiding in that little piece of wood.  It only tood about four hours to coax it out.

Next time you look at a little scrap of wood try to see what may be hiding there.

Here are a few other things I found in wood lately

Hope you are having a great day.

More Later
