Figure Carving Help

Recommended Posts

howdy;

I have flower carved for over 20 years but I have never done any figure carving, I have a couple saddle orders coming up that call for a humming bird and a dragon fly. I did a test humming bird and I am somewhat satisfied with the results with the exception being the beek, not sure yet how to get the best effect on that. I am not asking for a pattern but I would like to see some photos of figure carved birds and dragonflys for some inspiration.

thanks much]

Steve

Here's a couple of links to dragonflies.

I remember seeing a bird recently but I think it had a knife going thru it (back side of a motorcycle seat???) but couldn't find it.

Here are 2 I found using the search function.

I'm sure there are more in the gallery, but I found these from ClayB which I though were great! JMO

Hope these help.

Silva has pictures of both dragonflies and humming birds on her website. You can see them here.

Here's a humming bird I did. This one is embossed applique, but you can get the right idea from it.

It might be kinda tiny to look at, but I've got one for my avatar. If you need it blown up, lemme know.
