Title: Black Horn Painted By Carla, May Be Her Best Yet:
Post by: Tim Crosby on June 05, 2021, 02:37:10 PM
 The Pix tell it all but here are the details. It is about 14" around the outside curve not counting the stopper and 11 1/2 tip-to-tip. The butt is Cherry about 2 3/8ths" held in buy three Iron pins. It is tapped 1-1/2-6. The tip is horn and the collar Whitetail antler, both pieces are threaded 5/8-11 but the tip itself is pinned to the collar.
 Carla's attention to detail and fine strokes make this horn a piece of art. Not traditional but very nice to look at.

Must be nice for an artist to have a supplier of decent canvas so close by.....  :P 

I agree. Her best yet. Awesome.

Tim,
Your canvas is great, as usual, but Carla made it spectacular.

If I owned it I would never put powder in it. I would proudly display it 24 hours a day!

You certainly would not drag that horn around in the woods. It is like a "Sunday go to meetin" kind of horn. Just terrific...........JZ

Beautiful painting, especially the leaves, and the black background for contrast is excellent

Wow that is fantastic painting. I love the detail of the flowers and vines. I wish I could paint a little bit but my hands are way to shakey.

Very appealing horn.  Great work by both of you.  I'm with Pikelake.  Looks like a Special occasion horn or maybe for a "well to do" person. 

Cheers,
Ken

Stunning - leaves me at a loss for words.

What type of paint does she use?  She sure knows how to apply a brush in the right spots.

It all works together just wonderfully. The subtle curve in that horn adds to the magic.

A stunning piece! Reminds me of a Venetian “Lewis and Clark” trade bead.  You are both talented artists.  What other media does Carla work with?
