A little bit snails.

Thanks.Yes this is my first carving in sculpture.I`ve carved only floral design before.

Zebrano,

This is beautiful. But come to think about it I say that about all your posts. Maybe you could post some shaving or a rock or something just so I can change my comments. :)

Seriously this is very nice. Both of the carvings are so rich in form and detail. This is impressive, especially given its size. (For those not used to metric measurements the length is 2.4 inches and the height is 1.4 inches.)

Thanks for the post.

First time eh !!!!! I would be ashamed of posting my first and last carving…...

Keep up the great work.

Zebrano,

This is excellent work!

Did you chose a snail because that’s the only thing that would hold still long enough for you to carve? LOL

Very good work!

Thanks Scott and toyguy.
But I have to say I`ve spent a lot of time for this snail.It took me about 2-3 days.Because I did not know how I could carve small parts and I saw at my snail from one side and than from another side and thought: “How can I do it?”

Lee it was very difficult to get round a snail-model not to run away during my work

That is great for your first or 100th attempt!
