The covid angel

[planeur]

Hello scrollsaw and sculptor pros , your advises are welcome !

This project is to thanks the brother-in-law for his weekly follow-up for over a year, regarding the evolution of the “Covid”.

And he signs “Your Guardian Angel”, so to thank him and encourage him, I do this piece intarsia/sculpture from this drawing found on the web. that I modified and added the main topic of covid-19.



After transfer to the wood ( cherry tree ) 1/2 in. x 8" X 8" , cutting with a scroll saw, transferring a few lines into the wood with a scalpel, rounding corners to make more clouds… and I tried to sculptered by putting my model in 3D , to make it more real with ! Not obvious !



Here it is this morning waiting for your comments and advises



Was wandering for the finish with oil like Osmo satin, if I will put one color for the entire piece or many for all the differents parts as , clouds, wing, body, shirt, to let the 3D effect appear at his best. Il will do some test naturally.
And some additions still to come as the eyes and others surprises .........!

Thanks for your comments

If I was to put any color anywhere it would just be the cloud and the wings.  Maybe a white wash, that's all.  It looks great by the way.
