The Snowman and his kids, and companion for Oskar

[Ezzylearner]

The snowman is based on Mr. Claude Freaner's pattern on page 71 of WCI's Holiday Issue 2010 (Issue No. 53), carved from three pieces of 2" x 2" x 2" basswood. I've drilled holes on the body sides and face for sticking the hands and nose in, but I've glued the 2 body parts and the head together instead. The kids are carved from 3/4" x 3/4" x 3" jelutong sticks. Whiling carving the kids my wife asked me to carve a snowgirl. Not knowing how a snowgirl should look like and being short on imagination I end up with my version (see first figure on right side of thumbnail pic) - the hair is supposed to be made from straw/hay.

I've also carved a companion for Oskar (posted pic of Oskar quite awhile back). Actually I started out carving "Thea" from the book "Whittling Little Folks" but couldn't get her face right after many oops and yikes.

Thanks for looking.
