Still setting up at my new location, and my workshop is almost ready. These often end up hung on a wall, but In ways the joy of these objects for me is in the material, their texture and weight. Occasionally it’s nice to head out to arty shows / festivals use them. Need more of those. #art #artmask

Just a dodgy scammer by the looks anyways 😆

Soz if I’m not responding to messages! Apparently I need to prove that I am old enough to access messaging. 🙃 However, I cannot seem to verify my age as the process to do so does not work! 🤨

I’m still alive! 😜 We have been in the midst of a move and renovation, so the “studio” has been at a complete standstill for a long while 😔, hoping to be somewhat settled soonish. I need to get back to making.

Thank you 🥹

Here’s most of the process from start to completion with no music.

Love this one! 🥹

Great work! I love his hat!

Thank you very much! Appreciate the positive feedback. ☺️

A group of hanging olive wood pendants and beads shaped like little wolf skulls and hanging in front of a patterned surface.

Well, that’s a bunch of tiny simplified skull pendants made out of olive wood. I quite like how different each one is. 💀🐺 #art #woodcarving #woodjewelry

Thank you! 😄

Just hit 200 followers and I’m amazed that so many are from that artists I’ve admired for years. It’s a bit intimidating knowing you’ve seen my work but getting a follow back from someone I look up to means a lot. Thank you. Still feeling self conscious about posting though! 😅 #art

Inking.

Paradoxical

I love it!

I think I have the look I want eventually. More time consuming for sure! But worth it… I think. I’m actually pretty keen to make a full scale mask version too! #art #woodjewelery #carving

So, a bit of a fun test run, I like the organic look of the wood and how the cracks in the olive wood dictate quite a lot about how the pendants turn out. But I’m in two minds about finishing these. I will be trying out another batch using thicker cuts to add more depth. #art #carving

Starting a small limited run of some olive wood skull pendants. Let’s see how they turn out 🤞

More doodling and playing with “symbols” looking at one of my older pendants for inspiration. #art #carving #woodwork

Just playing around with some ideas for smaller pendants to carve. Lately I’ve been feeling pulled toward a more macabre vibe, thinking of bringing that into some larger sculptures too. I’m trying to make sense of all these weird, organic shapes and figure out how to simplify and stylize them.

Final final touches .final

It’s got a leather layer sandwiched between the top and bottom layer of wood, I’ve stained the top layer, but you can still see it running through the Centre.

Nice and flexible, I’m quite happy with how this experiment is going. #carving #art #woodart

Trying out a new technique and using some old bed slats to make a tongue for my last mask. Sandwiching a piece of leather between it, so that it can be an animated part of the mask when in movement. I just need to smooth it and add a bit more detail. It’ll most likely need stain too. #art #woodwork

Lovely detail. 🐙

Thank you! 😁

Person wearing a wooden mask depicting a wolf character, there are stylistic carved details on it and hanging beads from each side.

Here’s the last shot of this one before I start another project. This year has had a lot of change happening and I’ve been fairly burnt out. But hoping to get to the next project soon! #art #carving #woodwork

Whilst trying to photograph this art mask on the lawn, my partner asked me to carry in the dry sheets. An impromptu photo shoot happened. 😂

This is pretty sad in this day and age. Why these things are allowed to continue to happen is a bit beyond my grasp. Share and sign if you can.

Scary situation for you all that side of the world. 😢
