Another layer block 6x4.
There is impressions on the top from the plastic, but that does not affect the carving at all.
This carving block came from etsy - it is the same product as the previous candy colored carving block that I carved Abe Lincoln in. So I tried a darkened image. This car not the best way to start.
Because the image I was starting with was darkened I knew the transfer would be too.
Ready to carve.
Started with a general outline cut
This material is bright yellow in the middle. If you look closely you can see I made deep cuts with both knife and gouge to see how steady the material was- no,problem.
Triming up the carve.
Shawna: Great carve and description of this material. I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I found it took a laser print-Acetone transfer terrifically, it is firm enough to hold detail, but maleable enough and non-elastic to allow the Staedtler 1v reversed I use to take out only the material pieces I wanted to remove. I get really fine detail with this - thank you for sharing it with me!!!
