Thankyou Hollis. I like the saying you have about stopping somewhere. I'm never sure about when to stop working on something.I keep changing things on them, eyes especially, until I think it's right.For me sometimes it's best to slap some kind of finish on it and hang it up so it doesn't turn into a splinter, just let it be and try to do better on the next one. Aim higher on the next one. Thanks again!

Wow, Sharon, you have inspired me, as well! Your wood spirits are awesome!! It's like you saw the piece of wood and the little fellow lurking within and just set him free. I think I'm going to try my hand at this. It may take quite awhile, but I aim to give it a shot. Your pieces are wonderful and I love the way you finish them.
