hiya dwardo, if your sure you trust me with your bow! i could give it a shot. you ever get down my way to a north wood meet?

 

[woodspirits]

thank you, really do enjoy carving these little fellas, hamish, i nearly tied myself up in knots doing his beard!

 

[mountainm]

Do the candles, i'll buy one. Some really nice drippy wax would look awesome. I wonder if you could make the mould out of sugru?

i'll take a look on you tube see how its done, maybe i will give it a go. only trouble is they wont be original. same sort of thing with those resin and concrete casts ive seen of woodspirits, very good but not the pukka job.

He's absolutely gnarly!

Candles are easy- The biggest problem is you'd have to sacrifice the mould as theres too many returns so it'd need cutting out of it or a good bit of hand finishing. You can buy latex rubber- I think dentist suppliers sell it for impressions or you could just buy a 'mould yer own bits' kit *chortles* then you put a length of wick through the top with a knot in it, put the mould neck upwards and tie off the wick to a suspended chopstick/ similar. Melt candlewax in a bainmarie, pour in, leave to set, chop off the wick at the bottom and it's flame on time! I wonder if any of the producers of candle kits would be interested in producing it... a licenced commercial artist, spreading woodspirits in disguise to take over the world

You could have one character as the candle and the other as the candle stick. A married couple. Which one burns would be up to you though

 

[woodspirits]

we'll have a chat about it at NW sal'

Now, a wood spirit candle stick is a great idea....lathe turned the top (with a hole from an auger or spade bit) and bottom for stability....bark on wood spirit for the stem.

Lovely work Steve.

 

[woodspirits]

nice idea BR, i did do this one though, similar sort of thing?

 

[mountainm]

That is a cool one. But it would be great if the candle sits in his head, so the wax drips down to be hair.

 

[woodspirits]

and eventually just his borg eye sticking out hmm, maybe i'll just stick to carving

 

[Dreadhead]

and heres me thinking twas Odin

Yep - I would love to see a pair of "pillar" candlesticks

 

[woodspirits]
