Flying buttress figurine: Flute Player

A guided tour

Last week I completed another flying buttress figurine, a fluter player from the sieries of Musicians from flying buttress no. 14 this time. I had already presawn this sculpture a long time ago, but since I had recently completed a number of projects I could now get on with this one. Around the same time a group of visitors came to the sculotor's yard. These people had bought an old flying buttress figurine from this series, and we gave a tour and explained about our work, as shown below in a short video and pictures.

    Another coat-of-arms

    This week I started the next project, another coat of arms this time. In this case, the crest must be carved completely open. I started with cutting the contours. Then I first addressed the helmet, so I can see how the other parts relate to that in terms of depth and design. At the bottom of the…
