G. - as I was carving I did remember seeing your posts and gave it (pot) serious consideration.
This was a gift for a friend and I know it'll be going in the garden. The shape of the stump was the limiting factor. I didn't feel I could do a nice pot without compromising stability.
Soooooooooooo.... if she wants a pot, she'll just have to by one to place it in.
cheers - FV.
You have a nice carving there. I definitely like it. The picture is the best though with the snow and the sun flowers. I can almost feel the heat....almost
No-texturing done by mother nature - each flower was a branch stub, after burning they checked in the usual 'ray' pattern, the effect was very nice.
