I've been keeping busy. As you may have gathered from the St. Expedite posts recently, I've become very interested in saints that have a connection to New Orleans. Featured here are Our Lady of Prompt Succor (click the link for an abbreviated history) and Saint Joan of Arc. I thought the blue and gold would be reminiscent of france. White doesn't show up well on the wood. Raw, dry pigments are worked into pine for a lustrous finish enhanced by a bit of wax.
I'll be offering these for sale online shortly, as well as peddling them in person in New Orleans' French Market and area boutiques. They measure about 3 and a half inches by 3 and a half. If you are interested in purchasing one before the big roll out, feel free to contact me. Guaranteed WK original.
I also have some that I making out of palm tree bark. Those have a real voodoo feel. I haven't really figured out the surface yet, but it's promising. Very strong stuff.
Cheers!
WK
