For this project I decided to make something that would be useful to me and using materials that I like. I don't usually carry cash and so I only have cards of different sorts so I find card holders to be very convenient. I also love leather, anything leather, from boots, jackets, gloves, wallets, cases, saddles, chaps, ties, belts, etc. I Just like how it looks, feels, smells and I like the concept of using materials that occur naturally, unlike plastic and styrofoam. So even though the quality of this is very poor and if I were to do it again I would either use a sewing machine or leather string.

Artist Statement
I choose to do a relief wood carving of a quail in a ponderosa pine. I used a dremel to do the carving and then used watered-down water color paint as a stain with some acrylic paint for the white feather accents and the pine tree needs and the cone. I chose to do a bird, because I thought that it would be something on the easy side to carve and yet cool looking. |
