    Default "Emily", a wood sculpture

    "Emily", a wood sculpture by R. Wolf, Australia
    Material: Lime
    Size: 3" tall

    This lovely lady has been captured during a moment of sheer wanton exuberance, kneeling at ease and feeling the earth beneath her, the sky above and her place in it.

    She was hand carved with knife and gouge in Lime wood and finished with oil for a deep colour and lovely tones. Measuring 3" tall, she has long hair, a lush, full body and her face is lifted to the heavens.

    This is my first piece carved in Australia

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Hi Raven, Nice piece. I particularly like that she's only 3" high.

    Most of my pieces do not have faces most don't have arms let alone fingers. Might work on that when I get things scaled up

    The simple suggestion of body parts is plenty for the pose.
    Good work.
    If she were a model for a larger work, I'd be disappointed to see more detail.

    great peice raven, fantastic curves.

    at first glance the name "melony" seems more fitting!

    You finally made it then. Welcome! What suppliers are you after? Nice piece - again, very good 3D work... true carving in the round is hard to come by.
