Small female with Shamrock

[Irishman]

Tried something different. Here is a small female face in birch. The shamrock was an after thought to spice it up a bit.

Patrick, this is really something from you and very nice. female faces arehard to carve and get that real smooth look. are you leaving the eyes like that, they look like they are glowing. Are you producing a mate for your spirit men. lol feb

Thanks Feb. Not sure what to do with the eyes...I typically burn them in but I wanted to see how it would look left as is. Yes she does have a glowing look in the eyes - not sure why. Perhaps it will appeal to someone who wants to purchase it...provide a story to go with the glowing eyes.

the eyes looked like they were closed? good effect that way!

Nice face Patrick. You've captured the soft female look.

SUCH~~~ A great carving Patrick! I think her eyes are closed due to her being so shy! I'd leave them just as they are! The shamrock is also a nice added touch~ Great work.........Tenn

I admire anyone who can capture the female face so good .. and you certainly did ... I have struggled with that for years ... all mine look like guy's with wigs on ...

Great job Patrick

Patrick, shes beautiful I like the eyes closed--gives even more interest to her face. Good job! Don't burn a thing.

No burning! This face is very nearly a Greek classic, and if you look, most Grecian statues just had blank orbs for eyeballs, and looked very good.

In other words - if it ain't broke, why fix it?

I have to agree with the orb like eyes too. I like how she is set deep into the log also. Great work!
