Hey gang. Just a quickie to give a couple of peeps their fix...

Benz: The Order is going to look even stranger if we're all sitting in front of computer screens in different parts of the globe wearing our fezs'; they're the sort of thing that work best in large groups arent they? :lol:

Clarita: Glad you were tickled by the fez..! :wink:

KTD: Im only 'in' if I can play President!

Pdrake: Good question & has been thought about. The plan is to make a series of small 'hidden holes' on the rear & 'sew' it into the hat. Piece of cake...(gulp)

On with it...

Some initial delineation of elements, being very careful to follow the design but also allowing it to 'move' if necessary as the piece progresses.

Tongue, mouth, eyes, nose...

Some real shaping into head, legs, tummy & the start of toes...

May still need to go fractionally thinner on the back, but well see. Im enjoying the extra depth that not carving the back gives...

Getting there Bullet! Im afraid Im still having to juggle you along with several other projects...

...Like this one. Nabbed by Tikimecula! A bit more done on him today & tommorrow belongs to you guys exclusively!!!
*Need to ask you both whether or not you are wanting paua eyes set. Please PM me.

Given this guy a good going over, pulling proportions/symmetry into line & achieving main curvature/shaping. Made a start on the facial details & should have actual carving but not sanding/finishing done tommorrow...

Hope you're both happy with progress!

Tama :)
