Wood carving

known and commonly used form throughout the centuries. In relief printmaking, the parts of the printing surface that carry ink are raised while the remaining areas are cut away. The oldest kind of relief prints are woodcuts, where a (smooth) block of wood is used as the medium. Woodcut does not offers very little in the way of color, so most artists have to work in black and white only. If an artist wants to add color, he/she needs a separate block for each individual color, which is much more…

Through the woods, one can find many things: both expected and unexpected. However, there is a reason children are told never to play in the forest at night. This collection of trees and wildlife is dark, mysterious, and incredibly thick. The tall trees seem to radiate a sense of wonder, yes, but also terror. A place of mystery, this is by no means a place for children. Suddenly, a young boy in a green cape breaks through the trees. He is being chased by unseen forces. Although they are never…

the woods getting poison ivy. But eventually they struggle through their challenges and reach their goals. On a gentle summer afternoon around 15 years ago, a young boy named Adam and his friend andrew were at the height of their misfit adventures. Adam and Andrew had a big plan, they were going to make their own wooden guns to shoot each other with. They had no idea how to carve wood, let alone make anything useful.

Number Three, A Commentary The other night I had this dream: I was walking slowly through a forest, and I was completely alone. This forest was covered in a thick, deep, emerald blanket of moss which, naturally, felt like velvet on the bottoms of my bare feet. I took in my surroundings and noticed that I was in the company of the most gargantuan, towering trees ones imagination could ever fathom. Their bark paraded around each trunk as if its only job was to absorb every foreign sound and…

The emergence of Kickstarter has changed the environment for Start-ups. People can have an idea, whether it be a film, a product, a book, etc. and post it on the site and people can fund this project. In the curated section called, “Greek dads”, I found two projects. The first one is called the “Fidget cube”, and the second project is called “Superb Wooden Marble Run”. I will be explaining these in the following paragraphs. First let 's start with the Superb Wooden Marble Run. This is there…

pointing into the woods. The raccoons had come for desert. As we all started taking pictures and throwing them food her panic attacked continued. She grabbed the puppies, went inside the tent never too be see again. She quickly educated me on the stupidity of camping and how we need too leave in the morning. As I watched her pour a glass of scotch I realized at that moment I was alone. I was alone in the woods. I was alone in the woods with 4 girls. I was alone in the woods with 4 girls…

No One's POV. Izzy is in the medium size oak wood cabin. She is sharpening her sword that is made out of a light metal material and the sword itself is easy to maneuver. She's in a Japanese sitting style on the polished wooden floor of her bedroom, dipping her light silver and blue handled sword into a bucket full of water. She's closely staring at her sword to see if it is clean from the blood that had almost stained it from an earlier mission. The blood from the sword disperses into the once…

personally, adore the idea of skyscrapers made out of wood, the sensation of warmth you get when you walk into a wooden building, or all the benefits this planet would have if we would start constructing using wood more often, I cannot ignore the fact that there are many questions to be answered regarding the subject. Questions like, how high can we build or how is the building going to be protected against fire-considering that the main material is wood after all-, would be the ones I have been…

world. When I looked at his pictures, I felt like I was standing right next to him as he was taking the picture. “Path in the Woods,” reminded me of camping with my family when I was a young girl. My mother would take us for long walks in the woods. I remember how quiet everything was and thinking we were the first ones to ever be on the path. When I saw “Path in the Woods,” the path appeared untouched by human just like the paths on our camping outings so long ago. When I looked through…
