Carving the Pots.

 This is my first effort at carving the little brass teapot. I hadn't realised just how difficult it would be with the interesting attachment of the handle and the wooden grip on top.
            Another case of deciding what to leave solid colour and what to carve away.
 Much more simple to carve is the bigger of the 2 copper pots, although I have got the outline a bit lopsided! I'm not too worried actually, as it's all very folk artsy and as such, a bit of lopsidedness doesn't really matter.
    So far not too bad, although the teapot does have a few missing bits from the top of the handle!
