Ocelot Mirror

Michele Parsons

of Union Mills, N.C.,

carved

Reflecting on Ocelots

, 2" by 16" by

20", as a donation to a zoo’s fundraiser. The

frame is carved from basswood. Michele

woodburned the markings on the ocelots,

and then finished them with acrylic washes

and lacquer.

Driftwood Spirit

Robert Dowling Jr.

of Hampden, Me., is a

professional artist who

recently traded his canvases

for a carving knife. Under

the tutelage of the Easy

Bleeders carving club, Robert

is learning to transform

driftwood and other found

wood into wood spirits. He

said, “As I learn more about

the art of woodcarving and

the more carvings I create,

I am finding myself carving

more than painting.”
