Great job on the carving and the hand and the paint detailing is terrific!...

[JerseyGirl]

Look forward to seeing your progress with it, Randy....

[JerseyGirl]

So glad you are on the mend. I was drawn to the second one too. The eyes are so expressive....

[JerseyGirl]

Hee hee they made me smile. The grands will love ‘em. Please share pics if you paint them. Would love to see the finished ones....

[JerseyGirl]

Welcome! There are a great bunch of folks here....

[JerseyGirl]

Some great suggestions. For those who want to design their caricatures (vs following a pattern) “Thinking Inside the Roughout” and “Caricatures in Motion” are wonderful books for inspiration and tips. They are not how-to books but you can learn a lot from the examples and the thinking process....

Such a beautiful carving and truly a gift she will cherish. Love all the detail....

[JerseyGirl]

Yikes that’s some cut. So glad you are feeling better. After slipping a few times I invested in a great Kevlar/leather glove from the carving guy. I use duct tape too. A bit bulky but I’m used to it.

So adorable and Phyllis is such an awesome painter. She has certainly inspired me. Good luck and prayers for a very speedy recovery.

Thanks for the kind words guys! Claude great idea! I could have some fun making a gal pal....

[JerseyGirl]

Thanks so much for the positive feedback Nebraska, sappySoggy , Glenn Jennings,...

Finished painting this little guy today. He was fun and a throw back to the 1960s. Thanks for looking.

...

[JerseyGirl]

Hope your recovery is a speedy one....

[JerseyGirl]

Just... wow. Love all the movement. Simply splendid carving....

[JerseyGirl]

Gorgeous Randy. That is really a beautiful work of art....

[JerseyGirl]

Beautiful tote. I’ve been using meal containers with lids from the dollar store that I can throw into my back pack. Yours is much nicer!

Smiley made me smile. Look forward to seeing him painted....

[JerseyGirl]

Such a shame you can’t glue it back on. I hope you had a good scream at least. I know I would!...

[JerseyGirl]

Very nice carving! I loved Brazil (was there on business when I was a youngster). I drank so many cafe zinnia’s (not sure the spelling is right) and never was bothered by the caffeine....

[JerseyGirl]

Those are really beautiful, Merle. Lovely work and very ethereal....
