Here's my latest little guy - the warrior and hunter Big Bear. He's approximately 4 inches from tip of feather to tip of toe. Still needs to have the varnish applied, but painting and carving are complete.

<edit> For Ron: This a little Native American Indian, about 3.5 inches tall. He has natural-finished "buckskins" on, just the color of basswood, surprisingly. He has his hair pulled back into a braid and secured with a couple wraps of rawhide. His right arm is bent and in his right hand is an arrow; the left arm hangs along his side and has a bow in it. His tunic has fringe around the bottom, with a "beadwork stripe" on the outside of each arm. Also, the toes of his moccasins have "beadwork" on them. His face has a prominent nose with high arch, and his cheekbones are high, with hollow cheeks beneath them.
