Wow! What a beautiful Christmas carving! I didn't realize the caliber of your work. The camel hair is exquisite and are the eyes inserts? They really look great. The whole piece just looks wonderful from carving to painting.

Totally stunning work. The camel's face is amazing. I am wondering about the eyes too!
