Sketches

During my recupperation time this weekend I finally found time to do some drawin'.  This is a Hawk I drew in pencil.  I intend to draw him again in ink and then maybe try to paint him with my Bamboo Pen and pad.  I will be sharin' some stuff from my sketchbook this week if I can.  hope you enjoy.

Wood Art

This is from a Cypress Knee.  I sliced it and saw a face in the grain of the wood.  I decided to ad a few touches and this is what I came up with.  I have more that I will be posting next week here.  I have found, ducks, turkeys, dogs, bears and other faces in the grain.  Some of them look crude and rough but I just try to bring out what I see in the wood.

Pendants For Necklaces

These are made using copper wire and either beads or marbles.  You can either add a chain to make a necklace from them.  ( I have added chains to some of them.)

These are Cypress Knees from the Delta swamps.  I cut them into medallions and made these.  We have a lot of tourists coming through following the Mississippi Blues Trail and I thought they might want to take home a piece of Mississippi.  I also have put an eyelet in them and attached a leather chord to them to either use as a necklace or to hang somewhere.

There will be more pics later in the week.
