Default Red & Purple Hat

Hi All:

Here are a couple fun carvings I just finished. They are based on TomH's Wizards only larger. They are 6" Tall and painted using Americana craft paints. These little guys are so much fun to carve and paint.

It's fun to have a carving that doesn't take weeks, months to complete!
As always I appreciate your thoughts and comments.

Kathy

Hi Kathy, man, those are really neat, I like them both. Tom has certainly been a help to us all, I've got 10 or 12 of these critters waiting to be painted. They're for Xmas so I'm really not pressed for time.

Hi, thanks feller's! Never to early to start carving for Christmas that's for sure. I missed out on Hi_Ho's Ornament Exchange last year...guess what I'll be ready this year. What is so cool about these little carvings is they can be any character you want.
