Default My attempt at a "little guy!"

Gene... As you can see you've got no competition from me! This guy was a challenge, not sure whether its because my mitts are big or possibly my mouth but he didn't come to the surface easily. 1" x 1" x 3-1/2" basswood with an acrylic wash and satin WB poly topcoat.

Thanks guys! I think part of my problem is that the basswood that I used was pretty old and hard.... of course that's probably just another excuse for being a clutz! Ha! Ha!
