My wood carving

avatar

_DSC8580.jpg

Before my hobby of photography, I was fond of wood carving. Today, while in the archive, I saw photos that were taken for purely technical purposes. I had to show my work to the customer.

Now, of course, I would have filmed everything differently. But now I don't have this wooden sculpture.

These are the gods of fire and water from the Slavic pantheon of gods - Perun and Dana. I made them from birch and covered with a homemade stain from a decoction of chaga.

The stone at the feet of idols is not simple. I know a river where you can find something like this on the shore. This is baked sand. I do not know if it was the result of a lightning strike or something man-made. They all have a complex shape and baked rods inside.

And another photo. For some reason, not in full growth. This is the goddess of abundance and she holds a handful of natural amber in her hands. I collected it on the shore of the Baltic Sea.

If I find enough photos in my archives, I will make a series of special posts on this topic.

Those are absolutely awesome! I've tried my hand at wood carving before to some success, but not nearly like that. Love it. You should do more!

It's an interesting hobby, but lately I've been more interested in photography.
Maybe we should go back...))

Beautiful craftmanship!
Slavic pantheon of Gods is not that well known. It is pleasure to see someone interested in it.
Rarog or Raróg is fire demon in a form of a falcon among the flames :)

The Slavic pantheon is close to me, I have created many idols from different trees. Now I am more engaged in photography.
Rarog-Art :) I understood.

Amazing piece of art! Especially I love how the woman's dress, belly, and downside turned out. Splendid.
Hope you will not be offended with some !BEER ?.. ☘️
