Working on a number of pieces for the motion picture
The Disappointment Room staring Kate Beckinsale. Lots of mystery, ( also this carving I did for them is one of several and is pure fiction, I would Never otherwise have posted this image, it's just a fictitious character in the movie). Please understand not real child's memorial!!!
