Mama might know something about the pattern:-) It comes from the Hylestad church in Norway, dated around 1175 AD. I have used several of the patterns on that church, more pictures is coming shortly.

Hi Jannicke,

That's a neat pattern and you did a nice job on it. If you get a chance before you color it, use a modeling tool to smooth some of the beveling marks. On the picture you can see what I mean if you look at his leg, it looks like a small ridge. Cleaning that up and rounding over most of the beveled edges will give your carving just a little more finished look. I can't wait to see how you color it and how it looks finished.

Nice work. I would suggest that since this seems to be a representation of Gunnar who was thrown into a snake pit by Atilla the Hun - that you go with the legend which relates that he played his lyre with his toes since his hands were tied. To that end, you might mark in some lines to show that he is barefoot and playing music with his toes.

Actually....I have absolutly NO clue about any story related to this pic...you see my mom is the one who got me in to this carving thingie Im not picking patterns to do she does it for me and Im not cutting them out either she does that for me too..u know the thing you do with the knife before starting to "tool(?)" them. But Im sure its got some sort of story to it wink.gif like everything else from that era tongue.gif

If your take on it is correct i think it would be a cool idea to show his bare feet so thx for that tip tongue.gif

Ill get my mom to explain how the pattern came to be cuz she knows that type of information wink.gif
