| | Christmas in July 2005 No, I'm not so sick that I don't know the date (that was yesterday)...Before I got sick this weekend, I finished the roughout that Goody sent out LAST year...I know, I know....but here it is!!!
I'm not happy with the face, but...it's the first semi-realistic carving I've ever painted, so...I learned a lot!

| | Re: Christmas in July 2005 Bob, I see a little bit of Colin's woodspirit influence in that little face. Those rough outs are really fun aren't they? Really nice job.

| | Re: Christmas in July 2005 I did a woodspirit too, based on the one Shawn Cipa had in the Woodspirits and greemMen book, but didn't photograph it yet (I want to get some stain on it).
I did get a bit aggressive at removing wood around the cheekbones (Colin can attest to the fervor with which I remove wood <GRIN>) but I learned a lot from that as well!

| | Re: Christmas in July 2005 Nice job Bob, I agree with Thor, I see a bit of 'Colin influence' there too! Thanks for sharing him with us!  Deborah
