| | Re: Tiny Guys Painted Those are great, Gene! Man, every little cut on flat plane carving has to be so precise. I don't know how you do it!  !

| | Re: Tiny Guys Painted Very very nice Gene. Do you carve those from the corner of the block? Where the nose starts out as the corner, or on the flats? Did I make myself clear?? Thanks Tom H |

| | Re: Tiny Guys Painted Gene, you keep calling them "guys" but the smallest one looks like a saggy boobed wife to me. Neat job. |

| | Re: Tiny Guys Painted Great job gene,
the paint really makes the details pop,
funny thing in carving ill never get use to is the different levels of detail achieved by the shadow play of lighting, wood burning, finishes, and paint
Each step increases the details twice of what they before...
im just wondering, about experimenting with antique finishes?
thanks for shairing, hope i can get that much detail out of my little guys... |
