Yeah maybe a bust, I added color to the Santa bust and
bricks at the base. I am thinking too much color, or should I say too strong a
color. I didn't obey one of the rules of carving I have been taught, paint the
color on a spare piece of wood first to test it. The red of the bust is too
strong for my taste and gives it a cartoony effect that based on the title of
the blog you would think I would like, yeah, no. I have found that a thinner
color best suits my taste for the overall look of a carving, so this one in
some ways is a bust. You be the judge, and if I am right, “don’t tell me I don’t
want to know”. Good grief Charlie Brown.
My son had an idea I might try, to put chimney smudges on Santa, make it look like he has been busy.
