Buffalo skull

Recommended Posts

Last spring, one of the leather artist's who's work I really admire challenged me to try and do an original carving using one of the photos I had taken as subject matter. When I couldn't decide what to try, she suggested this buffalo skull sticking out of a dirt bank. I tried this once before and it was a disaster. Pieces of it are buried in the scrap pile and I put off trying it again until last week. This time it went much better. The second part of the challenge was to write an article for the LCSJ on how the project went. Well I didn't take any photos while I was doing the last two projects because I really had no plans as to what I was going to do. They just evolved as I went along. I am planning to try each of them again because there are always some things that I want to try differently. Started the second skull picture today and am taking pictures as I go this time. So I should have something to show in the way of an article or tutorial in the future.

Dang Clay.. you have a serious talent when it comes to getting your carving photo realistic... I keep waiting on the skull to slip off the leather ;)
