Escargot (front)

Cherry plate. With pyrography, carving and paint.
I suggest you look at some images of barbed wire. The wrap of barbed wire barbs is perpendicular to the wire, not parallel. I was raised on a farm, ran miles of it.
 
Very nice burning, carving, and painting. I didn't notice the "bob war" (how it's pronounced in Texas) the first time. I think it's OK to take artistic license and modify something to create perspective view.We were poor farmers so we only had the two-barb kind. By the time it's rusty and cows have rubbed against it, the barbs can be pointed in any direction.
 
Thanks Bill. I just got an NSK Pesto carving system. What a game changer. I love making Riverstone textures. It's liberating. I've been pulling out barb wire at the farm I keep my horse at. It's so beautiful, rusted in a flowing length, but sharp and bites. I like that combo. I've seen little snails climb on it without any issues. It's cool to think how impervious they are to it, while seeming so delicate. Thanks so much for the rating.
