A Plush Whale

I have a niece coming soon, so I made her a plush whale. I hope she enjoys it.

Line Carving

I got a wood carving kit for Christmas and attempted my first beginner-level project, a line carving. For a line carving you basically just draw a picture on wood and then carve the outline. It's pretty simple, no three-dimensional stuff, but it got me familiar with some of the tools.

I took a scrap piece of wood I had laying around and went to work on a scene of musk oxen in the arctic tundra. Musk oxen are pretty rad dudes as they're a lot like bison, but they live in the tundra and get snow on them.

I obviously haven't added color yet, so the image is sort of hard to make out, but there is a way to get color in the grooves, so I'll be figuring out how to do that next.
