A Rose is a Rose, even if it's made of OSB

beautiful indeed!!

the discussions about OSB panels reminds me of the photography debate of “point and shoot” vs manual controls. For me, the art is the product; the process, regardless of how it was created or what it is created from/with is irrelevant. The artistry lies in the process, the way the artist transforms whatever, using whatever tools etc, to create beauty and express one’s Self.

as in all of your work, Dick, your artistry shows. Beauty is not only in the eyes of the beholder but the soul of the artist!!

this rose is tribute to art.

Wow, I guess so. No doubt there’s a lot of beauty in that chunk of osb. It really does look difficult to make. I have to get my carving tools back and start practicing again. I loaned them to an old dying man that was wheelchair bound and have’nt seen them since. I know he is’nt using them anymore. I know it’s just an oversite by his wife. They are/were wonderful people. And I’ve got a few other tools I could use I guess. I actually took sculpture in college and was getting pretty good, then the army came along and so forth. mike

Very creative use of the medium, Dick. Who would have thought it?

Very nice Dick. Cut away the surface and look what I found inside!

Almost like an Lake Superior Agate. You cut them open to find a gem inside.
