Print wanted.

[Ted Wooller]

Hello everybody.
I want to carve a stick for a friend with the stylized face of the wind in it.
I can see it in my mind, like the one often shown on old maps, the old man with his cheeks blown out and lips pursed. I have searched the internet for over an hour now without result. Anyone got any suggestions please.

Thanks,
Ted.

Blimey Loretta, that was quick, thanks a lot.
That's the sort of thing although the one I have in mind doesn't have as many whiskers. Great start though, thanks.

Hello again Ted,

How's about this one? When you get to the sight, do a search for 'wind blower'.

Thanks Loretta.
His first love is wind surfing so I thought it would be appropriate.
