A New Project Begins!

This new project consists of a set of little whittled wooden figurines of tourists which are going to be photographed all over the world. The idea is not new:  you take a picture of an object everywhere you go on your travels, or ask people to take it along on theirs. People do this with spools of thread, pictures of friends, etc. I plan to make three or four figurines. That way, if any one of them gets lost, a replacement can be carved quickly. The first little tourist was completed this morning and is already heading out on his first trip, but more on that later. Below are pictures of his construction. I think the wood is basswood. He was then gessoed & painted with acrylics. I had no time to clear-coat him. I’ll finish him up when he gets back, if he makes it!
