They are 1x1 by 2 1/4. By the way I took this pic on top of my monitor with my web cam.it takes a second and it is on my desktop and ready to send.Do you think it is a good enough pic to send to the forum?Thanks Shimmy

Them are really nice! But then again I LOVE the little stuff too!

As for the picture, I'm just grateful that you'd share it with everyone. It's a little bit "fuzzy" but I can tell exactly what it is.

Good job Shimmy ... Your on your way to being a little guy carving junkie .. These little guys are habit forming ...

I can see the little guys well enough to say they are really neat. Keep it up.. Tom H

Thanks everyone for your praise.I have made about a 100 of them.Make these when i'm on the run.I cut out a bunch of 1x1 2 1/4 from the waste wood of larger figures.

i used a webcam or a really cheap digital for years.
until i found a kodak 653 digital reduced enough in price.

the web cams do work
but at some point you cross the line and really want to show off your detail in the things you carve to be shown,

them little fellers are good.
habbit forming for sure im getting close to a half dozen presently and ideas keep popping up for characures...

Those look great! Small figures like that are fun to do. Fit right in a shirt pocket, so they can be taken anywhere. I usually have one or 2 with me everywhere i go. I just got "Carving Caricature Figures from Scratch" by Pete LeClair. The techniques in that book can be used to do small figures as well.

brushpile,

the techniques pete teaches will change you for the better, i find im looking at carvings and peoples different facial structures differently, be careful youll learn somethinf from pete...
