Default Carving emotions.
Here is a picture of the first 6 elves that I am carving for the Epic Touch Company this year. I hope they like them because I tend to carve them showing the emotion I am feeling at the time they were carved. You probably can pick the one out that was carved last week end as we learned of the loss of the Seals and the economic reality that is evidenced by the news.

The expressions are fabulous! Easy to tell the news of the past week has all of us in a funk, including your faces.
The eyes capture the expressions very well. Great carving!

Hi Millard, looks like you done it again with your great Elf Carvings. Excellent. It's about time for you to start your Santa Carvings that you do every year. Was it 45 pcs.? Merle

Hi Millard,
Absolutely wonderful carvings! Your emotions are always shown in your carvings but they really came out in the one you carved last week, fantastic job as always.
