PastorBob Report post Posted October 21, 2022 Love the motif! Nice job on adding the stamen to the center of the flower. The only thing I would change is the depth of the anther (the seeder). To me, those become the focal point of the piece. I also like the way the vine curves around the cross. I also noticed you let a blank spot on the top left border, as if the flower would overlay there. I love it when part of the carving is outside the lines, so to speak. I think it really makes them come alive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gezzer Report post Posted October 21, 2022 Busted ..... Yes Sir you have hit the nail on the head . I don't have a seeder but often use a very small hole punch for one , why I didn't reach for it I don't know but I grabbed a ball-end stylist and knew after the second impression it was wrong. At that point I didn't know how to fix it and continued on . And the flower pedal was SUPPOSED to extend outside , I just goofed ! Actually you and your wife were on my mind as I did this , to me the 2 flowers represent a man and his wife with the love of Christ between and binding them together .

Gezzer Report post Posted October 22, 2022 Second attempt , at least I didn't use the ball end stylist . I also decided not to over run the pedal on the border . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
