WEEK THREE...DAY TWO

The sweet little redwood sculpture was my first attempt in wood and recently renamed to honor my dog ZABU. I chose to carve a woman's figure because of two precisely positioned knots - which fell out! So my teacher Robert Ortlieb suggested doing innies instead of outties. ZABU was exhibited once at the Palos Verdes Art Center, but I thought she looked a little boring on her return home, so  I pounded her torso with 2 different types of nails. Now she's rockin'.
