Default Just finished my first Gargac style elf..
As with the Santa`s it was fun to carve this piece, I also got another lesson as in the heavy lidded eyes and was`nt sure how to paint the eyes but I think it turned out ok. Thanks for looking and as always comments welcome..Bruce

You did a nice job on that elf Bruce. His whiskers almost appear soft in the close up. Well done on the eyes. The whole piece has qualities I like about it.
Patrick.

Wonderful job. I received the Santa video for Christmas but have not yet had time to carve one. Now with the elf tutorial, I better get started.
