[Woodcarver] Whatcha' Carving...

[Bill Judt]

Vic:

In fact, they did.
And we had a GREAT time doing this. Some days were were laughing till 
our bellies hurt.

The first four carvers posed for each of the seven sins. After the 
photo sitting, we viewed the photo portraits on the computer and picked 
the ones that best represented a particular "sin".

The other three carvers chose from the three remaining "sins" and posed 
for them specifically.

I was the model for "anger". It's hard to take a convincing portrait of 
oneself, you know!!!

FYI, the seven deadly sins are: anger, pride, greed, envy, lust, 
gluttony and sloth.

The digital camera was an amazing tool for this project, allowing 
instant feedback (review) for each picture, and allowing the subject to 
adjust their expressions accordingly. Each sitting took about 30 
minutes.

The digital images were processed on the computer, translated to 
gray-scale for printing, and then scaled to the right size. The images 
were then traced by pencil on my light table. Further scaling took 
place as required.

More details later,

Bill
