liitle ladies

I have all these little guys carved so I am in the process of making them some female companionship. I cannt for the life of me carve a pretty woman but I guess my guys aren't really in the hansome category either. More to come later.

The gals look as "experienced" as the guys....those fellas couldn't handle any young filly's. I like them all..looking good to me.

Herb,

Great job on the female companions for your guys. I like the one in the spotted dress, but I always have liked the blondes. Keep up the good work Herb.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

Nice ladies. They're gettin' better. Carving a woman's face is tough, but you're getting there.

[Tom Ellis]

Keep them coming Herb, I'll bet you don't hear those cowboys complaining. I think we get so accustomed to putting the wrinkles in the men that we just do it to the women too.

[Midnight Carver]

This is an interesting thread, maybe caricature faces are not suitable for women. Maybe, a little less chipping and a bit more rounding in the face would improve the look.

Maybe, a women's face needs to be softer and to do that we need to take the harshness out of it. Maybe, we have to break some rules. ( Are their any rules, or just those that we subconsciously impose on our selves? )

I wonder, if using a bit of fine sandpaper, and a little rub just to take the roughness out might bring back the Dolly Patton look.

I am just thinking aloud and typing while I am doing it. Does too smooth a face take a carving away from the Caricature style and not give us the effect we are looking for?
