Default Indian Bust "Bishops"

A few months back our club had "Phil & Vickie Bishop" come in for a two day seminar, I wasn't able to attend due to work commitments, but I managed to get down to the class and purchased a couple roughouts, this particular one they call "Shadow".

A personal note to "Snickerbocker" I hope that I did it justice in how I brought my version to completion.

Sorry my pictures are a little dark, haven't really figured out this picture taking portion yet.

Comments & critics are welcomed. Bill

Bill, I really like the piece. What catches my eye is the bead work on the back. Great colors for this piece.

You have a lot of work put into that piece. He has quite an expression on his face, and the snoz really gives him character. All around nice looking carving.
