Embossed Indian head

[karl]

Hello again fellas and ladies.

Here is an embossed picture if Chief Sitting Bull for you to view. I don't know whether to paint it or not, haven't made up my mind yet. I thing I'll try another one of someone, don't know who yet but they're fun to try.

Hey Karl,

You did a great job on that! No reason for you to be scared to do faces anymore. Looks like the embossing came out really good.

Clay, I love the way it turned out. I put some X-! by fiebings on it and want to do some achrylics on ot but I think,

"Doubt Breeds Fear" and I don't want it to look like a blind drunk painted it. The original photos I took were better quality, but were to large to download and took up more room on my camera, so I used the lower quality and they were ok to download. I tried and tried but between the camera and the computer I can't figure how to shrink the photos down and lock them so that when I try to upload them they go back to the original photo size and take up the room of a football field. LOL, and I am going nuts trying to figure out how. Karl

I like that Karl. Excellent work.

Thanks Cecil, I love to do figure carving and after doing some embossing, I am a happily married man, but I fell

in love all over again and by golly It's fun; and the more I work with it I am learning more and more, Like when you are embossing on the head, when you emboss the eye openings, you have to make them smaller in order for them to come out right and not look like the eyes are bugeyed or wide eyed open. I am going to do a few more people and animals to get use to it a little more, then I will try it from pictures of people like wedding pictures or graduation or grandma or something someone wants. How does that sound?

That's really nice Karl. Embossing is on my list to things i want to learn to do. After seeing some of your work here , it's really got me thinking about it. Again very nice.
