Conga's right. It could be worse...None of my stuff could sell. I just wish people would ask me for my best effort, not my cheapest. Some day i'll have the skills to match my ambitions. So I'd better quit complaining about the heat and get to work.
Last week it was in the 90's all week, and the week before that, and the week before that. I've lived in this house for 12 years and it's never got above 100 once. It got to the ninties about 4-5 times in all that time(spent most summers out though)
My high low for the last week was 56-94

It's finally cool enough to work for extended periods. right now=

Ah! Perfect. It's cloudy, so I cannot work on evening out my emerging farmer tan, so I guess I'll finally finish this one...

I just took a break from carving out the neck and the back. There was something I just didn't like about those two areas. I usually just move on after I "finish" carving a piece, but I went back and fixed this one before sanding. I was going to sand it right now, but looking at that picture, I think I need to deepen the eyes. See, that's why I don't make it a habit of going back and working on "finished" pieces...Oh well, the only other thing on my plate today was getting rid of my farmer tan. No sun-so I got some time to spare to work on los ojos...
