As I worked on my fish for the Sign Invitational this morning I had a brainstorm and a change of heart. It’s not an uncommon thing. I decided it would be cool to make it a ‘woody’. As I applied the sculpting epoxy to the sides of the sub and carved in the wood grain I had another idea. I would transform the little submarine into a lionfish with each spike a wooden plank. As I scrounged around the shop I came across some paint stir sticks which would do nicely. A few minuted on the band saw shaped them perfectly. A little sculpt provided the first of the woodgrain. Much more will follow. This is going to be fun! Stay tuned…
