Default Indian Bust
Here is a Indian head bust that I just finished. The only thing I didn't do was paint the feathers I carved them but had mom paint them in oils. The skin and other colors are done in a oilwash using danish oil. The pattern is a roughout I bought from a local man Stu Martin. In april I am going to take my first ever class from him and am looking forward to it. It was fun to do for a change of pace. I am now working on a double faced one that has a Mountain man and an Indian face. As always let me know what you think and where it could be improved.
Ron

Looks good Ron. Do you have Adobe house carved in the base? Looks like you've done something but the picture doesn't show it very well.
