Song Bird & Wild Fowl Carvings

|| ARTIST'S PROFILE || HOME ||  CONTACT CAROL ||

Songbirds, water fowl, game birds and birds of prey are all carved to the minutest detail. Using tupelo and local basswood, the carvings evolve through multiple stages taking weeks to several months before completion. Wood carving is a relaxing and challenging art form that transforms a ‘wonder of nature’ into a collectable wood sculpture. Carol has a passion for the perfection of her carvings and sculptures and she showcases annually at many wood carving shows and exhibition, winning many awards for her craftsmanship and artistic/creative settings.

• Each carving is unique and carefully researched using observations from nature, books, photos, magazines before I begin work.
• I use aged basswood or tupelo, and my tools include knives and rotary abrasive tools (Dermel and Fordum).
• Working from a pallet of over 35 colours, I blend them to reproduce the colours found in nature.
• Each mount is created to be as realistic as possible and represents an environment the bird would be found it.
• Many carvings have 50 to 100 hours of work in them.
