Mouse Carving

This is a wine glass / bottle mouse. Carved from basswood, it sits on the rim of a glass or bottle. When I get a picture of it on a glass I will update this blog. 

 

"Cat in the window" relief carving

I am not finished painting yet. I am attempting to show the wood through the paint. It is working well with the stone wall background in this relief carving. I'm using oil paint and the wood is basswood. l got he idea for this carving from a brooch I came across. I will add a picture of the brooch to this post. The wall and branches with leaves, clinging to the wall, is my idea. I will update with pictures as soon as the project is completed. Thanks for looking.
