Robert C Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Some of the things I have done since I have posted here. Almost too many things to list but I will hit the highlights. Cow bone Carvings. Giraffe bone Carvings. These are the latest carvings . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Edited to make the images less enormous. I forgot they were unedited phone pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi Robert C, Thank you for sharing the images, and for figuring out how to downsize them. I am enjoying trying to "see" the different imagery between the positive and negative spaces on the top, right pendant image. The lashing on that one is nicely done, also. What are you using for the pigments on the colored pieces? Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted July 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Doc martins Bombay inks, scrimshaw for the colors. The original drawing for the Hei Toki. Might help with the visualization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I like seeing the drawing/plan for the piece. The reversal of the image on the Hei Toki reminds me of what would happen when I prepared a composition for the carved porcelain that I used to do in the '80's and '90's. The sketch was done on tracing paper as a line drawing first, then shading was done on the reverse side. This method offered a 'plan' for depth of carving with varying degrees of darkness. The deeper the porcelain clay removal the more glaze would accumulate in the firing as the glaze melted and flowed. That also would make the higher parts lighter as the glaze flowed. Such drawings as yours can be very helpful to do in positioning the elements for balance, the way the eye moves around or is directed to move according to particular nuances ... It is good to see your thought process here. Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
