Default More Bottle Stoppers

Hello all, good to get back to carving after a week on the road and with a brand new computer as well

These are some block head bottle stoppers. 2 faces on each one. They are carved on 1 1/2 square x 3 inch tall basswood blocks. Finished with acrylics and oil wipe on poly. Thanks as always for looking!

Corey

Corey .. you had it in you all along my friend .. your carving of faces and the way you use the cuts to form expression is showing all the time .. and these fellows prove it ...

Corey,
great facial expressions, as well as the paint...

the last 3 made me laugh,,, making me think of the time i was dared to eat a possum persimmon before it was really ripe... their great if their ripe... but if the frost ain't hit them , you'll certainly look like them last 3 heads
