Hurrah! Mr. Ilke just found out that he sold another piece. This is a skate deck that is currently in a show in LA. The woman is wood burned onto the deck and it is beautiful! Think it went for 150 or 200. YAY MR. ILKE! My man is talented and wonderful and I loves him lots! (He's giggling about being called "Mr. Ilke." I asked if he wanted me to ( Read more... )

Yup. He used a wood burning tool and burned it into the wood. House smelled like a pine forest for days. it was lovely. :) He paints and sculpts toys too and I keep thinking I should tell him to do a Draco & Hermione Dunny set (or all the HP characters). These are a bride & groom that he did on commission for some toy collectors who used them as cake toppers (they are 3 inches tall - tiny).

Those are too adorable! He made those? WOW

Well, he didn't make them 100%. There is a base that he started with - the "Dunny" - and then he scuplts and painst on top of the base. In this case the people sent photos of themselves and of what they would be wearing. The dress is sculpted onto the base. Anyway he is rather good at it. I think he is a great sculptor! :)
