Whimsical House Seminar with Kathy Overcash

Here is my latest carving, a whimsical house carved during a seminar with Kathy Overcash.  Something new that she suggested I give a shot was to keep the "wing" on the house and carve around and on it.  

And of course, I managed to get through the entire carving INCLUDING carving underneath of the wing without breaking it off ... which eventually did happen when I was mounting the carving on the base.

Something else new that I tried was patches on a roof which creates a really cool effect.  Below are shots from the start of the carving throughout.  Notice I originally had a post included (it didn't make it...) and a ladder (also didn't make it ...).
