 Ho Ho's Big and Small I'm heading down to Charlotte tomorrow and thought I would post some pictures of a few things I will be taking with me. I'm not so sure I will be entering all of them into the contest, but I thought I would take them anyway just in case. As you can tell, I have been experimenting with the little guys.....but still can't do them like Gene does! Trying flat plane on Santas, but still using the gouges for beards and giving them some details in their face. Let me know what you think! As you can tell, the dark watco wax is still wet on them. When it dries it will lighten some and give me just the look I am looking for! Hope to see some of you down there in Charlotte! Thanks for looking!
