A sculpture evolved

I carved this "Phantasy Bird" about 10 years or so ago and it was sold but the image stayed with me and I had to do it again but this time I pictured it as having been on steriods ---




















And this is what I found the steroids had done!

Also, the little one was carved from basswood but the latest one was fashioned from thinset mortar applied to a carved styrofoam armature.
