Some say carving is a craft. Others say it is an art. I believe it is both. Creating a bird that looks like it might fly away requires skilled craftsmanship spread through dozens of hours paying intense attention to detail. It is an art that requires weaving line, shape, texture, and color to create something beautiful. In reality, whether creating a bird is a craft or art is unimportant since I often find myself lost in the process. Time fades away. All that exists is the bird and me.
