Deborah what an amazing carving you are like wine and cheese you get better with age. You are all absolutly right Deborah's attention to detail and her meticulous carving are what make her pieces sculptures. I have met her in fact I have been to her house and seen all of her marvelous carvings held them and believe me the pictures do not do them justice. Not only that I am lucky enough to own one of her carvings when I need inspiration all I have to do it pick it up. Great job Deborah I know the customer will love it you are fretting for nothing.
Colin

Brian ,

I agree , the colors structure and finish are all of that quality. Thought the same thing when I saw it.

Deborah,

What can I say that hasn't been said. OUTSTANDING Deb. If the lady doesn't like it, there is something seriously wrong with her. After seeing your girl fairy on the teapot, I couldn't imagine you coming up with a carving equal to that, But you have. That little girl and dog is priceless and beautiful. But then I should have known, you would come up with another high quality carving as usual.
Oh, I showed the pictures of your girl and dog to the little bride and she said your carving was "Breath taken".

Thanks for sharing it with us.

All joking aside that carving is about as close to a photograph as can be had but only better... it's in full 3-D and who wouldn't rather have that!!! The little girls face shows a much longer story that most people will miss. In that face you so accurately captured the happiness, contentment, and such pride to be part of her family. As a bonus you seem to have captured the very same feelings in the face of that dog!

Really nice job and thanks for sharing it with us first!!!

Deb, Museum quality at its finest, your talents are endless and it shows in every piece we get to see, and enjoy seeing too, some of us learn at seminars, but Deb, you have the carving ability to be a "teachers' teacher." Thanks
