CANDLE ICE - PHASE 10

As you can see, I have redesigned the front face of Candle Ice.

The lines are simplified and a little cleaner than before. The tines have been reduced in size in order to focus attention on the palm of the antler. If you compare the thumbnail (Phase 10) with the one directly above (Phase 6) you will note that the overall look is quite different. The upper portion of the antler has been completely redone, (compare this Phase with the detail shots from Phases 4 or 5) and the section close to the base has also been changed (compare with the detail from Phase 6).

Completing this carving has been a little like running a race, where the finish line recedes every time it comes into view! Because the front has been redesigned, the back will need to be redone as well. That comes next. Then the final sanding and polishing.

Summer is finally upon us in Yukon. We are planting flowers and cutting grass. Things the rest of the northern hemisphere have been doing for a while!

The preparations for the journey to Toronto and Kleinburg in July are almost complete. CBC will be taping the feature on the Millennium Tusk for Northbeat next Tuesday. We are still waiting to hear if Midday will do an interview as well. Stay tuned! :)

The tusk will be shipped on Wednesday and I'm off to Ontario the following Monday.

I hope you are all well, and enjoying the summer.

Till next time,

Shane
