Clown Elf

[Mottles]

Hi All, sure hope your not getting bord with my elves. I probably should have put this thread in the WIP & Projects Forum.

Here is elf #6 'Clown Elf' like the other's he is 7" inches Tall x 3" inches from ear to ear. There is one difference I used Danish Oil Neutral with no antiquing this time. Gave him a little collar-like design instead of a beard.
As always I appreciate your thoughts and comments for improvement.
I think I'm getting a better handle on the mouth. What ya think?

Hi Carl & Cliff, thank you, both so much for your nice compliments.
Cliff, I'm just amazed at how truely different these little elves wind up looking, even though carved using the same technique.
Our minds and hands are wonderous tools!

Hi Bob, thank you, too! I was hoping that some of my fellow carvers would comment on the mouth. It's been a struggle to try to get it right. Not there yet but getting closer.
Thanks again,
Kathy

Kathy, I'm not bored at all! I'm having a ball seeing what you create, and also what fun you're having! They all have good mouths in my opinion.

Hi Kenny, Sharon, Forrest
Thank you, all for your nice compliment and for coming back again to see what elf character I've come up with next.
Forrest, give one of these little guys a go, you can do it!
Actually, in case you don't know I think Mark has a Tutorial in the 'Tutorial Forum'. I certainly can recommend Mark's DVD also and if you have it even better yet.
Found the link for the Tutorial Elf Ornament (mini tutorial)
