**sketch** for the Barometz
This series really is getting me out of my comfort zone- I carved a wooden sheep for this mask. Actually, I carved two wooden sheep- the first one looked like a platypus, though. Yeah, I don't know how that happened, either. I'm still not pleased with the effect, even with the sheep like wooden sheep, though, and may start over again, or else may do something with color and patina.
