[Woodcarver] Cottonwood Bark carving

[Larry Yudis]

Hello Andre,
 
A very impressive line-up of work.  A lot of creativity involved in the
execution and naming of your pieces.
 
I don't see why you shouldn't be able to develop a market for your work.
 
On a personal note, I would be more impressed with your carvings if they didn't
have the adornments on them such as the window mullions, the chain railings,
etc.  Again, this is a personal thing ... many, if not most folks might like
that.  I prefer the carvings to be "all carved".
 
Keep up the great work and you will find an outlet for it, I'm sure.

Subject: [Woodcarver] Cottonwood Bark carving


I'm new to woodcarviing, been carving off and on for 2 years; I'm self-taught,
still have tons to learn. 
I've settled on cottonwood bark as a medium, and my subject is woodspirit houses
or gnome homes. I've recently focused on carving larger pieces of bark,up to 7
inches wide and 48 inches long; these have pieces of stained glass for windows,
brass or copper window mullions, and doors that actually work. Could you please
take the time to look at photos of my work and give me some feedback or
constructive criticism? It would be much appreciated. I'm thinking of finding a
gallery to display and sell my work, but don't know if I have "gallery quality"
pieces.
