Default Cleaning Lady
My daughter has a domestic services business and uses a cartoon character that she found as part of her business logo. She wanted me to carve her a 3-D version of that caricature. It's basswood and about 3" tall. I cheated on the mop. I used a wooded kitchen skewer for the handle with twine for the mop itself. The acrylic paint is finished with a couple of coats of water based satin poly.

Great job Eddy! At first I thought that she was a "funky" California lady with purple hair, then I saw that it was just a scarf.

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.
