done carving, ready to paint, originally uploaded by kaitschott. That faint music in the background? Unintentional, but I think we were listening to this or this.

working on the cowlick
working on the cowlick, originally uploaded by kaitschott. One of the things that I didn’t anticipate before working with wood for the first time is how crucial the direction of the wood grain is to the form that one is trying to carve out. It is not that the direction of grain makes certain things [...]

Playing catch up
So the piece for Replanting the Garden is done! Carved, painted, packed, and shipped to the gallery. The last month was very much a case of don’t-have-time-to-post-must-carve-every-free-minute-with-only-the-briefest-pause-to-take-some-photos-along-the-way. Whew! But I did take photos along the way, so it is just a matter of getting them sorted and posted. I’ve begun to get them all up [...]

La deluge
flooded island, originally uploaded by kaitschott. As I whittle away, the Mississippi River flooded for the first time in the nine years since we moved here. I’ve heard that it floods about every seven years, so it is a bit overdue. It crested about a week ago and is on its way back down again. [...]

Proof of Concept
It’s crunch time…can I do this? Here’s the roughed out shape again…. sketching in petal/leaves and beginning to cut in…. Starting in on the second row…. All the petal shapes rough cut…. Adding some contours…. So, after a week’s work on this strategy, I’m confident I can create the effect that I want well enough. [...]
