I've made quite a few little sculptural objects over the past few years, but they tend to get tucked away into corners of my studio. This is my first sculpture that's headed to a home! - This is hand carved ambrosia maple, just shy of 5" tall. The form is roughly based on a Dupin Cyclide. I was browsing through pages of geometric solids for inspiration, and this is the shape that caught my eye. The texture feels incredible in the hand!
New cookbook day is always exciting, but especially so when I spot one of my scoops inside!
So while I've been carving raindrops for a wall sculpture (that still needs to be sorted out), I've been listening to the Game of Thrones books. The description of the dragon eggs got me thinking "What would a dragon tear look like?" This is my first shot at it. The second attempt is to the upper right, but I prefer the first. This is ebonized black walnut. Now the question is, do dragons cry?

Taste testing my first batch of rillettes de porc, pretty pleased with the results! Can't wait to do some experimenting with my next batch.
A few goodies patiently awaiting oil and wax. These will be available for Open Studios this Saturday from 12-5PM in my studio at @westernavearts
You put the circle in the square and you texture it all up...
I have to put my raindrops on hold while I finish up some orders and get ready for Open Studios next Saturday. But I have a few ideas on what I want to do with them...
It's always exciting to see my work in another cookbook! The @crunantucket cookbook is absolutely beautiful featuring stunning photography by @wecphotos , I can't wait to take some of the recipes for a spin.
This extremely rainy New England spring has definitely seeped into my subconscious. Yesterday I just had to put down what I was working on and start carving raindrops. I'm still figuring out what direction to take this, I have a few ideas floating around and I'm excited to see where this goes!
