My Little Godess

[John Fenna]

My most recent bit of carving.
I have always like the look of Prehistoric Goddesses/Venuses so had a crack myself.
It is deliberately crude in design
Made from Pine , dyed with leather dye and all carved with a Mora.

I like that John she got a nice big booty, reminds me of those ancient Incan and African fertility goddess statues although the Inca ones were usually precious metals and the African ones made from Blackwood

Nice work John, it has an African look to it.

 

[John Fenna]

Prettier than the one I carved for the theater I belong to....

google "prehistoric venus statues" to see the effect I was going for with the latest one...

 

[Dreadhead]

love it, reminds me of the goddess from the movie 13th warrior

 

[CumbrianLad]

great work John that's a nice bit off craftsmanship and i agree dredhead it does have a look off the figure from 13th warrior

 

[Mesquite]

Nice bit of carving John

All it needs is a beard and it would look uncannily... but I digress

 

[Tengu]

It certainly looks authentic.

My friend has a big collection of tribal carvings, -very different to tourist tat

(And yes, some of them are dyed wood rather than the real thing, interestingly)
