Finished Product of Wood Carving

Finish Product of Plaster

You can see that the plaster is more clean. I think it looks good, especially since this is my first time doing it. Some struggles I had was that it was hard to carve the inside and trying to get the shape I wanted. It took a long time to get to this point because I started with a rectangle shape.

Plaster Idea

I found a picture on google for the plaster project and I wanted to do something similar to it. I decided to make it look like a spiral. I thought it looked really cool. Here are some pictures of the progress:

You can see that I still need to carve the inside.

Progress of Wood

I started to cut more of the wood, so the drawings would pop out more. So far, it's going pretty well. You could see that the astronaut is being seen more clearly. Also in the beginning , it was hard for me to cut the wood, but I got a lot better. You could see that I struggled by looking the messy cut.



 

Start of Wood

I started by cutting out of the big areas first, so that it wouldn't take me awhile. I thought it was a good idea, because I can't go around the drawings yet since I can only go with the grain. Here are some pictures:

Drawing for Wood

Here is my drawing for the wood carving:

A Little More Progress with Newspaper

I started to tighten up the head on the back using tape. I looked up a picture on Google to help me visualize of what the head should look like. I think it looks a lot better than it was before, so I am pretty proud of it. I'm deciding who I should make. I think I might make a golf legend that had passed away last year or I might make it of myself. I'm still deciding.
