snake called dyslexcia

This sculpture I carved while living in Coventry.
Carved from a piece of  local Lime I scrounged when the council pollarded the trees down a street near by.
lime is a nice wood to carve its relatively soft wood but doesn't split like pine.
This carving is 35cm long15cm high and14cm wide.
 For sale £170 email helena.godwin@ntlworld.com
I have manage to avoid being swallowed by this particular snake
this hand is my little brother Matt who despite being diagnosed with me by Aston University never learnt to read fluently. Despite this he was a skilled salesman and studying art in London before he tragically died 1989.    I Started to sculpt in response to the grief I felt and shortly after I learnt to carve.
