Hello once again everyone here is my latest piece "Blue Crab" This piece is a 7" x 7" Cherry hollow turned to about 3/16"" thick then hand drawn and carved away negative space. The coloring is hand pained alcohol inks and finished with satin lacquer.
My high school mascot was a red (school colors were red and white) "blue crab."
One of the pranks pulled by my school was to take a bushel of live blue crabs and release them into our rival school one weekend. The rival school was a 3-story wood building that still used radiators for heat. Reportedly, it was a cold weekend and the crabs crawled under the radiators to die. By Monday, it took them quite a while to figure out what was stinking and then find and remove the dead crabs.
The story of that prank has lasted long after our rival school was demolished.
