Designing with your photos

I sometimes find it fun to play with the photos of my horses when trying to come up with other design ideas.

It's a real good way to see which parts of the designs I like better and come up with new ways to combine them.

I also made some changes in the shapes with a pair of scissors to see if I want to make any changes in the actual shapes of the wooden blanks that I have cut out to carve on.
