...Well almost! Close enough for me! I love anything Witch. This was a new gift for a friend - we did a swap. It's my first Witch hair Pin. I thought I would make a bunch of these little gals as practice for when I carve my bigger doll faces.
Her name is Wanda WorryWart
She is Cherry and her hat is a sepperate carved piece of closet rod ...lol...I think it is fir. Nice and lightweight. I love how she pokes out of my hair! I forgot to photo it...lame...but she also has a broom. It is a carved Cherry handle and broom straw for the broom. All tied up like a miniature broom. Very cute. I like to just lay them about the place. Ok1 Please leave me some pointers. I am so no good at eyes! or mouths...I like my noses...

Hi Keoma,

You did a very nice job on Wanda, she's very believable.

Do you have any eye tutorials? I try to keep the old magazines that have facial features tutorials. I just found a really good one in issue #20 (I think) of WCI by Jeff Phares. Of course his eyes are more for outdoorsmen and Indians, but I've seen some for caricatures somewhere.

Where'd you meet my ex? Definitely a strong liking there.

keoma,
girl you just keep on cuttin, is that cherry hard to cut?
i went to a carving club, y first ever, 1 and 1/2 hours north, Ton H , and others, nice bunch of fellows, learned more in the 2 hours is was there, than any other time, the taught me eyes, wow , nothing like real time ,hands on , i would say 3 hours travel time against 2 hours carving, priceless,
looking good
SAM
PS, glad i didn't do as you requested, pe- my pants ,got enought problems , but thanks for the idea,
SAM

Keoma, your little witch is really cute!She's real folksie. You have your own style and I wouldn't change it if I were you. Love the little witch. Your cat on your shoulder adds a special touch to the picture too.....sharon

Thank you all very much. I would like to be better at eyes, like I said, I like carving the noses, so I focus on them. (((Hmmm...was that almost a pun of sorts?!)))
Sharon, you made me think. While I would like to be better, maybe my eyes will not be the focal of the face...but the nose instead? Making Lemonade I guess.
Thanx again for the feedback, I hope the gal likes it.
