deadwood dai

Here's a few stone/deadwood combos. I may remove the tall portion of wood on this first one someday. [/url[url=https://servimg.com/view/15195597/83][/url[url=https://servimg.com/view/15195597/84]

Fish rising

That's all for now, hope you enjoy[/url[url=https://servimg.com/view/15195597/87]

Hello Monte
Great use of dead wood,
could be very effective way to display.
need just a little refining...

Long arm on first one, your right!
remove about one third way up,
stone will be better seen....

last one is a great figure!
Very Santa Claus like,
especial with snow background...

I found a new deadwood piece for the "fish rising", the wood is meant to be evocative of water through which the fish is surfacing.

Another photo of the first combo I posted, taken at a better viewing angle.

Another possible combination, this one is hanging on a wall. For now the stone is simply put on top and precariously balancing in place. If I decide I like it I will carve a secure seat and refine the wood a bit. The wood is old RMJ deadwood and the stone is a cambrian receptaculite fossil found while canoeing this summer. Not a common fossil I believe.
Kind of a weird alien gecko image, not too sure about it yet.

Hello Monte,
Thank you for posting.
The fish is a lovely combination.
The indoor picture of the stone you posted earlier, gives us a better reading of the shape of stone and wood,
but i am not sure of the proportions of wood and stone here.
The last one is really a strange dancing-jumping creature.

Hi Monte

I like this one very much...Is it also nice from the backside?


Kind regards Yvonne

Thanks for the comments, I think I will carve a seat for the fossil into the wall hanging wood. The Fish is only nice from the front unfortunately, I just keep it against a wall.
