Thanks for sharing.

Wish to see the completed piece.

Good wishes to you as you explore the real and marvelous cicada and test your skills at translating what you see. It is easy to get lost in such a project. I have carved two, and remain in awe of those creatures. I look forward to seeing your progress.

Thanks Janel for the encouraging words on my attempt to carve a Cicada, but it seems that I have lost it. Had a show , Art Walk , here in My home town Sat, After cleaning the studio and moving some things around, I cannot find the Cicada. It was about half way done and coming along nicely,, well I will keep an eye out for it ,,,maybe it will come back to me,,, or I will start a new one,

I have found that the thing that is lost will be found in the last place that you will look for it.

 

My must frustrating losses are the 2-4 mm eye lenses that ping of the grip and go flying up and away.

 

Good luck with the cicada reappearing for you. How frustrating it must be to have it disappear.
