Ira Chaffin is a world renowned sculptor living right here in Birmingham. He is well known for his portrait sculptures, but today I share a sample of his carousel horse and menagerie work. I found thepieces as beautiful as the finished pieces. The Ira Chaffin Carousel Carving School is an amazing place to visit and photograph.

Not horsing around here!
it's so life-like!
A good choice for the creative artisan theme. When I go north, maybe I need to go again to the carousel museum.
That horse is beautiful!
Beautiful and unusual find - what a great choice for the theme. Makes me think of the Trojan horse tale:)
An excellent sculpture.
The top photo has a lot of personality. The last reminds mo of that story about the south end of a north bound horse.
Wow, wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Your top shot is really something. Very nice portrait image too.
Wow, what a horse. I'd love to go to this man's carving school.
Wow. Wood carving is really hard. That mane looks perfect. An excellent theme day post!
