Over the bank holiday I had a sale out of the blue and had to rummage for hours to find this blackthorn spirit, then clean up and re-oil back to a respectable state.

Not done one of these for a long time due to lots of reasons, but this has turned out mostly okay.

Just put some linseed oil on this face. Cherry branch with a swirly endgrain nose. I'll put up more pictures in the daylight tomorrow.

Gormless face carved into a very swirly grained cherry branch. Stylised wood spirit

I couldn’t think where to put this so I’ll just leave it here. Tomorrow I’ll be 43 years old, which is the age my dad was when he died (alcohol related illness).
I thought it might bring up some existential wobbles but it’s now sending a shiver down my spine

Another cherry face wood spirit as usual. I'm very bored with myself at the moment and my imagination is in the bin so this is all we get.

Every time I get a second to rest my brain automatically fixates on how much my 1.5 year old is going to hate me when she's older.

A lump of cherry branch with a stern, bearded face carved into it, lots of swirly red grain. Photographed in the garden at 6am.
