This project was pretty simple. I just drew out a large mermaid onto the piece of wood. I then carved out the background into a radial design. Then I carved out her tail to give it a curved look. With the rest I carved it in certain places to give it the look of being in front of or behind something else. I didn't like this project that much. It ended up looking messy in some places which bothered me. There were some places where I was going to fast in one section and chipped another. I liked the radial background. To me it added almost a magical or mysterious quality to the mermaid. She looks fierce and powerful.
