Feline with peacock tail feathers

in #artzone7 years ago

I feel this piece was worthy of a post by itself because it was a freestyle based sculpture where I just let myself go. No planning or sketching it out, I just started cutting. This is my therapy when I need it, which doesn't happen too often. But whenever I'm upset, frustrated or stressed, I'll break free from my mundane bear orders to create something original and truly one of a kind.
I give you the peacock feline:

After finishing it, I remember wishing it was taller so I could make it's tail bigger/longer so it would be more dramatic. To have more "wow" factor. But it was finished, nothing more could be done except display it in the showroom.

With a little refining...

Burned it good with the torch. Wanted a smooth look but raised grain.

Sanded all the char off and added whiskers. I used broom bristles.

It took a little time to sell, as with any odd piece that I create. But I knew someone would buy it just because. I have a handful of clients that come in on the regular to see what I have that's unusual and original.
Carving this piece brought me great satisfaction. Even more so when the woman who bought it fell in love when she saw it.

I hope you enjoy seeing what I "saw" if so feel free to upvote and resteem.
Thanks for looking
