I think it's a great job Feb! Very femine! That's an attribute that I've yet been able to covey in anything that I've tried to carve.

All I have is compliments! That's an exceptional work. Eyes are the tough part and you have them just right. Everything else looks perfect, too.

Very nice job - very feminine, and the facial features and expression are fantastic.

Thanks guys and she does love it, but I'm not giving it to her until after our caving show in Oct. She put it on her facebook page. Thanks again, now I have a few grandchildren to try and carve.
