Default Just for grins and giggles
I had a particularly stubborn piece of driftwood this morning. So I let it soak in 50/50 alcohol and water and whacked out these just for grins and giggles.
Hope you enjoy my warped sense of humor.
Wanda

Wanda.. Very cute! I take it you're not a smoker, at least when you're working with a 50/50 mixture? Ha! Ha!

Wanda,
Nice little carvings. I'm not a drinker but if I was to sample some of that 50/50 I might be able to tackle one if these little carvings. Thanks for sharing.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

Mark, I thought the same thing until I tried one. The mouse was easier than the cat. I need to study some cats before carving one again. They are Heineike basswood so it carves like butter.
The cameo is Tague nut (vegetable Ivory) on a black walnut back with carved "pearls".
Thanks again for sharing my Grins and giggles.
Wanda
