Here are a couple of wooden figures I carved. I tried a new technique—burning patterns into the wood with a soldering iron. I think it worked quite well. These figures don’t really have a specific story behind them, but perhaps they could be seen as some kind of spirits or gnome-like beings from Finnic folk belief. Kalevala often comes to mind with wooden figures like these, but that’s not really my goal or intention when carving. The pieces just tend to turn out the way they do. I don’t usually make detailed plans, as I wouldn’t know how to follow them through into finished works anyway.

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. I always liked this one, cracks and all.

I recently mentioned on Mastodon that I've been doing some wood carving. Working with wood is a calming activity amidst a hectic life, and it feels good to create something that leaves a tangible mark. Carving also gives me a sense of connection to a long tradition of cultural creation through woodworking. This piece symbolizes the layers of generations, which eventually are broken down by decomposers like fungi, returning to become the building blocks of new life.

@Maker_of_Things @makershour Hi, I'm Shermin from Berlin, Germany. I'm into hobby hopping. 🙈 I do #whittling, #sewing, #pottery, #spinning, #aquarell, #quilting (EPP) - these are the ones I do most at the moment. If I have time and energy. 😅 In the last time I'm trying to do food miniatures with polymer clay. This is my first try at a cake, after I saw some awesome reel of something like this on Instagram. I also have some cookies and donuts in the making - but haven't found time to finish them. (Sorry for the bad light, it's nearly 10 pm here.)
