I saw the no seeums in the current WCI Issue and thought I would give one a try. Let me know what you think, I am new at this so all criticism are appreciated.

I have also uploaded some of my other work to my gallery.

Mtn goat,you did good! Looks alot like me but my noise is longer & bigger. What size is this carving,its good when you carve something to state the size.{just sharing that with you-ok,seeing you are newer.

Keep going with your carvings and Im looking forward to them,thanks for sharing this one with us.

I would definitely paint the eyes blue, it will give the carving more depth (oops, I forgot, no eyes) great little carving, I like the no eyes approach, solves a lot of problems.
