Carving the House Targaryen dragon
The Wood carving of the House Targaryen sigil from Game of Thrones. The sigil or coat of arms is carved in oak for the structure of its grains and to create the feeling of a rough meieval somewhat torn object. After the carving was compleated I stained the Wood with two different nuances of black to make the dragon stand out from the background and finaly I applyed some Linseed oil for protection.
The Three-headed dragon that is the sigil of House Targaryen represents Aegon the Conqueror and his two sisters, Rhaenys and Visenya. And it could also be seen as a fitting match that Daenerys (Khaleesi) hatched Three dragons of her own in the ritual fire.

Carving the House Greyjoy coat of arms
zhlédnutí 69KPřed 10 lety
This wall shield is my interpretation of how the wood carved Crest belonging to the House Greyjoy of Pyke would look like. The giant squid turned upside down is a impressive sigil and its shape is pretty cool with all its 10 arms spread out against the background. A suiting animal to their motto: We Do Not Sow (we take what is ours). In Game of Thrones the House Greyjoy of Pyke has a rather rou...

Making a 16th century style Cassetta frame
zhlédnutí 164KPřed 10 lety
This type of late 16th century frame that we are making in this video has its origin in Siena, Italy. It is a very basic type of a Cassetta frame consisting of a plain backframe with added sight and outer mouldings on the front. The lack of carving is well compensated by the illusion created by the gilding and painted decorations on the mouldings. The frieze was usually decorated with painted d...
