Kokopelli

Hello Debbie;
—-keep them coming!

Another fine show of sculptured wood art!!!

Have you ever thought of ”SculpturedWoodArt” —by Debbie or ”ScollsawedWoodArt” —by Debbie

Do your-’self’ a favor and forget that “woodworker wannabee”; as that was then and this is now; you all-ready are a worker of wood just like all the rest of us here….and then I just read your other comment, so what about: ”FunctionalWoodArt” —by Debbie

GODSPEED,
Frank

thanks Frank.. I’d forgotten about the name. I’ll get right on that.

I really enjoyed creating this little guy – especially since it seemed so easy!! Patience, it’s all in the patience.

I agree with Frank. I have been thinking about your tag line also. A wannabe is someone who buys tools and doesn’t build anything with it. You have a large group of projects now, and you are no longer a wannabe.

The Kokopelli is a pretty popular figure. I shared a show booth once with another couple that also does carving and the only thing either one of us sold during the weekend show was a few of my canes and ALL of their Kokopellis. Great work, I like how he is playing the flute up in the air. Now, you just need to make a flute, I think you are ready to tackle that technical feat! When you are ready, let me know and I’ll give you some links to where to get plans.

Oh, I learned the same lesson, scroll sawing thick wood is not a good thing.

Very nice Debbie.

Mark – I’m ready, (not to actually make it, but to start the process of practicing the skills needed to make the real one.) One step at a time.

Look out summer contest – here comes a flute on a ceremonial shelf :)

WOW. Now THIS, I like. Your skills have quickly stepped up to your new name, Sculptured Woodworking Lady. Can you teach? See? Just changing what you think about yourself, causes you to improve.

And if it can be done, you can do it.

So, Debbie,
How long did it take, and how much does it sell for?

Price? ha!

I had to do a double take when I first saw the thumbnail photo. I already knew a little about Kokopelli, but I’d have sworn that your photo really was a computer rendered illustration. I didn’t believe the woodgrain until I saw the enlargement. Very nice – almost surreal. I have a woodcut print a college friend made (she’s Ecuadorian), this reminds me of the lines in her work.

Just a throwaway afterthought – the stand reminds me a bit of a surfboard – not that it looks like one (or that it doesn’t look “right”,) I was just struck with the thought, and I find the thought of putting Kokopelli on a surfboard or skiis kinda funny. :)

Oh, and what an upgrade to your signature line! Impressive! ;)

Oh, and you could woodburn a bajillion Kokopellis onto the flute your going to make!

why thank you Scott… “made you look” is a great compliment :)
a surfboard? I think it might be because the base is “floating” in midair so it seems. (I have a layer of felt on the bottom so that it won’t scratch the furniture.)
lol A Kokopelli flute.. hmmm ;)

Thanks Dick. Not sure what he’s playing but I’m sure it is something enticing.
