ABHandmade Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJole Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The end result is a very nice piece of artwork. 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.

Lynxlady Report post Posted December 13, 2019 Is there any chance that you might post a video of you working with those tools in the photo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynxlady Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
