Hollowed out the middle and gave the body a super wide width. But then there’s the weight of the wood itself. Will it float?
next attempt: hand carving yellow cedar. It isn’t the lightest wood there is but I figure if I could get this close, I could use it as a template to carve some balsa or bass wood
✖️FAILED. Experiment mission accomplished. This did float, but I totally didn’t shape it to stay upright. It just kinda bobs sideways at a bad angle. Dead duck. Shaped & sanded bondo over styro: works but not ideal
Challenge: come up with a sculpture that floats.
Idea: coat styrofoam in a thin shell of bondo.
Question: will this float?
from the devotional to the satirical… here comes some wildlife sculpture that doesn’t take itself seriously
❤️🧡🩵💚THANK YOU🩷💛🩵💜 to the wonderful new owner of this nuthatch pair. It’s because of you that artists like me survive. Only 3 #oakdwellers remain available. Seems like they’ll probably be gone soon at this rate.
in the wild last weekend, this precious little friend is still looking for a home
