Hi from a moose antler carver
 

Dear friends,

I am an artist and my major and creative focus is bone carving - animal scenes: moose antler, deer antler, mammoth tusks, etc

It'd be an honour to post here the fotos of some of my carvings and get your opinions!!!

The details can be seen on my web-site to which you are heartily Welcome!!! - http://mooseantlercarvings-dimgor.narod2.ru/

So, the carving I did the other day.

A moose and 2 wolves chasing.

I used 2 techniques - relief carving and burning.

My favourite mooses and moose fighting...

This are the 3 Variants of my carving of the same Scene.

First was relief carving (toning):


Then - cut carving (and no toning just the antler is left natural in colour as it is):


And now - Variant 3:) - relief carving + burning:

For some time I was carving antler burr belt buckles, I like that really much, a burr can be a little picture, a sculptural composition, very catching and absorbing work for me...

Hello Matt068,
you mean "Bear and Laika" or "A Sudden Encounter"?
All of these are my sample carvings, by the way, thus, a copy of any can be ordered.

You are a very talented young man ....beautiful work!

Thank you for your appreciation!!!!

The Bears....
 

Here is my carving recently finishes....a peaceful scene from the life of bears....

You have computer and you have the internet. There is no reason you can't earn very good money selling internationally on the net. You may even be able to have one of the higher priced sporting goods outfits such as Orvis or Kevins to handle your carvings for you. With your talent, I would predict great success.

Oldtimr, thank you for your reply!!!
However, making art is one thing but selling art is another hard issue....

I am fully aware of that. However, I have two friends who are canvas artists and they do quite well for themselves with wildlife art, they promote themselves and they sell through other venues. It takes a concerted effort to get known, oncean artist is known and popular, the selling pretty much takes care of its self. I have friends, several that are waterfowl decoy carvers, both decorative and working style, they compete in shows, set up booths at waterfowl shows and festivals and they do very well. I am not telling you it is easy, it takes effort but many of these guys are full time artists now. You certainly have the talent to do well if you promote yourself. Have you ever approched a gallery with your work to see if twey would handle and promote your work? Don't talk yourself out of trying. If I had your talent, I would have never worked for someone else.

Oldtimr, thanks so much for your words, they are a great support for me!!!!

You are a talented artist!

Beautiful works of art indeed! Very detailed and impressive!

Dear Friends,

I would like to share with you my recent carving of a wild boar and a wolf,
it's carved in mammoth tusk.

Wow, I wish I could afford your work! Fantastic.

This young gentleman is the best at this type of art that I've ever seen!

Thank you!!

Thank you very much!!!

My little mammoth tusk carving
 

The carving, a little bit different from other compositions...

This little Doggie now lives with us in our house...:):)
Once upon a time, hundreds of thousands years ago there lived a huge furry elephant, called Mammoth, on the vast and snowy territories of a distant land...Never could he even think that his huge tusk would once turn into a little dog, so round and nice that you want to hold him always in the palm of your hand feeling his warmth...the warmth with which Nature imbued him and which It so benevolently shares with us.....even after centuries that passed since then...
