Art Nuveau style with filigree

The style is Art Nuveau with filigree and a photographic portrait. I’ve wanted to blend styles for a while and now have a tool that can allow me to do that.

The face is still rather shallow and now recognizable but I am working on depths and detail. The left side of the carving has not completely carved through the ¾” depth of the poplar. The right side has gone completely through where gaps in the hair should be. I have more work to do and more iterations of this design to come.
