Doom and gloom

The source of this pattern is obscure like the previous post. I was attracted by the body language, something that hitherto I have paid little attention to.

Doom and Gloom

Doom and Gloom

Wood: Lime (Tilia x europea)

Height: 16.5 cms

Finish: Linseed oil and beeswax polish

The body language spells a miserable mood!
I went to town with stylized folds for the oversize trousers, which caught the effect I was after. Most (90%) of the carving was completed with a knife. I resort to gouges where concave cuts are required.
