HISTORICAL EXAMPLE

For Historical example I chose woodcarving, because this is something I tried at a young age and I wanted to see how it would go now. I found these beautiful woodcarvings on Tumblr and was instantly hooked, the simplicity and the smoothness oboy.
Here is some research I did:

Here are the carvings I tried to make:

Got some tools from my mother and bought a hammer and clamps. This was not as easy as I though it would be. After a whole day carving my body was bruised and pained. But the thing was I kept on going, although it did not go according to what I had in mind. I am an impatient person and want things to be finished asap so this took to long in my eyes. It was addictive. MUST MAKE THIS WORK. It was frustrating. I am a perfectionist. It gives satisfaction to get a little bit further every carve. It was a thinkfree zone. I got obsessed, woodcarving is everywhere around us and now I notice everything.
