Looks EXACTLY like a seal!

Great job. I like the expression and your habitat really does the trick.

WOW.. awsome! I like the name too! Where do you get your ideas from?

I have found out you can add fine sawdust to white paint and moosh it around in a baggy and let it absorb the paint, to work for snow also. Just thought I'd pass it on to ya.

Thanks Marci . Usually I just start thinking about what animal might want to carve and then when one sticks in my head I try it. I did think about trying your method for making snow but all my sawdust was pretty dirty My shop is in the barn.

Thanks Deborah. I did try the Treasure Crystal Cote. Works great. Thanks for your instructions on how to do it. I remembered a thread on it a while back so I found it by searching.
