    They aren't mermaids, what are they?

    Where did you get the idea?

    Very interesting.

    A 20th century surrealist painter,
    ( inspiration from anywhere is ok)as long as you give reference

    Wonderful work, U. Did you live in Adelaide in the 80s by any chance? I met a professional sculptor then who loved to carve birds like your eagle, could it be you?

    As regards the flesh coloured timber, you would love to carve Pinus Cembra (pic attached) but you would need to import it...
    Cheers
