Hi, Linda, Love the characters, but I, too, want to learn how to do children and female faces. Janet Cordell is the only teacher I've gotten to meet so far(I'm a newbie at carving). Janet's faces are beautiful and yet, she can carve a horse with the best of them. Perhaps you could go to one of her sessions. I'm sure you would enjoy the time with her.

Wow... the sites have been so helpful, as have each of your suggestions! Thanks for all your help. Is it true that one has to make 500 of something to be really good?

496 blocks of wood on the wall, 496 blocks, take one down, carve it around... 495 blocks of wood on the wall...

Merry Christmas!!

500? I don't think so, some come on here and almost immediately are doing beautiful work, depends all on the individual and how much effort is put into learning....and carving naturally lol

i doubt it would take 500 to learn how to carve something, unless you was hard to learn from repetition,

sorry i been quite busy with ornaments here of late.
to answer the question about folks carving women, there are a few here,

check jim oh posts for free beer lady's night, she ain't pretty but worth the look if for nothing more than the chuckles of what some folks will do for free beer...
