ABHandmade Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) When carving the portrait of my German Shepherd Gerda, I took a series of photos of the stages of work and collect them in the form of a short video. Hope this might be interesting to someone. PS. Criticism and advice will be accepted by me with gratitude. And I will be happy to answer questions if some moments of the creation process cause interest. Edited January 22, 2019 by ABHandmade Quote

alpha2 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Absolutely amazing. Looks like a photograph. Jeff Quote
Members DJole Posted January 23, 2019 Members Report Posted January 23, 2019 I enjoyed watching the time lapse video, paying attention to each step, then pausing the video and thinking about which tools and which techniques had just been used. The end result is a very nice piece of artwork. Quote

The end result is a very nice piece of artwork. Expand Thanks, @DJole! Here, in addition to the obvious tools (swivel knife, hair blade, stamps F896, F895, B200, B935, F910, F902), several exotic ones were used. Mainly for wool and eye work. Sometime a neighbor came to visit us. She is a dentist and, seeing my stand with stamps, said jokingly, "Yes, it's just a dentist's office!". Thinking how best to work for embossing wool, I remembered this case and drove into the medical equipment store. It turned out that some of the tools were perfect for working "as is" and some I slightly modified. The undoubted advantages of these tools are the material (high-quality stainless steel) and a very small price (each cost me $ 2-3). Below - photo of those that I used in this work. Quote
Members spacedog Posted February 2, 2019 Members Report Posted February 2, 2019 That is very impressive. Well done. Quote
Members Lynxlady Posted October 7, 2019 Members Report Posted October 7, 2019 I enjoyed the video very much. I hope you have many more planned. I just can't get enough of seeing your work. I am entranced by it! Quote Expand Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted October 7, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted October 7, 2019 How many people missed the fact that it's 4" x 5"? Tha's great detail in that size pic (plus, never tire of seeing your use of color). Quote

Members Lynxlady Posted December 13, 2019 Members Report Posted December 13, 2019 Is there any chance that you might post a video of you working with those tools in the photo? Quote

Expand I am very sorry, but, unfortunately, shooting a video is definitely not the case in which I at least succeeded. My "ceiling" is to make a series of photos and animate them (as the first post of the topic heading). As soon as the camera turns on, I begin to twitch and make mistakes (a purely psychological effect). Quote
Members Lynxlady Posted December 14, 2019 Members Report Posted December 14, 2019 Well, I wouldn't want to be responsible for a reaction like that! I'll be watching for future still shots of your work in progress! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us. Quote
Members FLand49 Posted May 10, 2020 Members Report Posted May 10, 2020 Excellent. Thank you for sharing. Quote
Members AzShooter Posted May 11, 2020 Members Report Posted May 11, 2020 Most excellent work and I loved the video as well. Quote
