Rethinking Image

Rethinking the image.

Carve face out with dark lines and shading lines.  Carve the rest of the block as white on black.

Bad Hair Day ~ Transfer

Transferred the cartoon to the block.

Carving next.

Bad Hair Day Cartoon

Bad Hair Day

Needs more white in it in that case.  Carve thicker lines.  Always carve too lightly.  This will encourage me to carve deeper.

Puzzle Block ~ Fantasy Garden

So I've already settled on a dandelion theme.  But I'd forgotten the fantasy element, so now I'm thinking of a cartoonish face having a "bad hair day."

I have a cartoon I've planned to use for a tapestry, but with a little tweaking, the image (or one like it) would serve for my dandelion head.

Only with whispy dandelion fluff hair blowing in the breeze.  8-]
