Anoter Wizard and Witch

[Buckskin]

I had a discussion with another carver who came by my Myspace page and suggested making earrings from Tom's 5-minute Wizard. So, I contemplated the suggestion and said to myself, "Self, I think maybe you can do this!" To which, self replied, "Heck yes, give it a shot!"

These little guys are 1/2" x 1/2" x 2" pine. When done they will have 'fish hook' ear wires. These are fun and nearing completion. I will be sure to post them once they are painted up and I can get the Mrs. to sit for a picture.

I hope you Enjoy!

I totally can't wait to see them finished! these are going to be great! Will you be painting them?

[Buckskin]

Keoma, I think I will be painting them with watercolor to let the grain show through and then sealing them with clear lacquer.

Don't forget about the food coloring

[Buckskin]

Ahhh, yes. The food coloring. How well do the colors mix to attain different hues?

Looking good Buckskin!

Thank you, Corey!

All I can say is get a box out of the kitchen drawer and play with it. The possibilities are endless. Pine is a great one for taking a stain too

Wow. I shrunk the wizard to 3/4 x 3/4 x 3 and converted him to a sort of Santa to make ornaments but yours verge on the microscopic! Nano-Wizard, lol. I too look forward to seeing the finished product.
