Who says knitting is easy? Just check Shauna Pichardson’s work. In her hands, crochet is a wonderfully expressive medium. It is hard to believe those lively bear, rabbit, monkey, lion and so on are made by knitting. I have no idea how long it will take to make one. However, one thing is for sure, those crochet works are amazing!
Bone carving is the act of creating art forms by carving into animal bones. It can result in the ornamentation of a bone, or the creation of a figure. A lot of bones can be used for carving, the most famous one is ivory. In the old time, lots of elephants are killed because of that. I do hope this situation will be improved. Otherwise, cow bone, fish bone, buffalo bone, camel bone are so popular material for bone carving. And due to their various features like softness/hardness, color, they can be used in different types of carving. I have listed 10 amazing Amazing Art Work of Bone Carving I found, and hope you like.
