Artist/designers/craftsmen
Thers a load amazing work on the wood work forum and a huge range of styles some you may love some you may hate .Whatever your taste its great to see .
But how do most of you start the work with a idea? and how do you develop them
I always start with images focusing on what I want to do often inspired by other artists / crafts person .Then research the subject matter and do drawings around the size I want.
It would be interesting to see how others tackle there projects.
below is a idea I am looking at inspired by a Canadian carver using driftwood ,but trying to turn it into a hiking pole and some images of a eider duck . I enjoy water fowl carving but the image is basically the way I start a project.Once the idea develops I always make a pattern for them
It very often develops in differently ways once I start some things take over but its basically how I work
