Two wood working commissions I did a while back. A good friend of mine loves strong female figures and asked me to do these two for her. I had never heard or seen Sheela Na Gig figures before (that's the first lovely lady)!

Very nice work!! I googled the name - how awesome. Since no one seems to really know the meaning or why these were created and put on buildings shows to me at least that ancients have always been in awe or scared spitless by female power.
It is the basis for all religions to praise the virgin birth and then subjugate and blame women for every damn thing that goes wrong for men.
But no getting away from the power of that being.

Awesome work. Will be glad when I learn to sharpen my tools...I feel like a three year old trying to color inside the lines

Did you influence the design, or did you fully replicate them?
I think they look really great!
Very natural, animalistic and raw mixed with a human element. What do they represent?
