the wolfs howl

Project by pat sherman posted 603 days ago 328 views 0 times favorited 22 comments Add to Favorites Watch

this is a relief carved wolf with a woodburned detail and backround. based on the project by fred and elaine stenman in carving magizine. i liked it. drew my own wolf and did the picture.
the wolf is relief carved and part of the fur is woodburned the entire backround is woodburned then colored.

enjoy.

morning john. thanks for looking. relief means it is carved into the board but only on one side.

the carving stands above the backround. whereas if it was done ‘in the round’ you could pick up hte wolf and look at both sides.
relief carvings ,and the backround are all done on one piece of board.

thanks .
