Nice log

Was on a roll today then was called out. Money is useful and is good for getting cider, but it doesn't advance the art. I had some lovely dark brown semi opaque glass which was perfect for the log, but when cut and viewed at a distance, it wasn't quite right; it needed more contrast with the dark red legs. So we re-cut the log using a lighter shade, but kept the bottom strip to make a shadow and add a bit of depth. Happy with it now, it almost looks like a real log. At a distance both his tail and the log look textured and three dimensional. I'm out on the job Thursday and Friday so won't finish his face till the weekend.
