The Zircote ones will do more smashing than Being smashed though. Y'all are welcome to come down and join up if you want? :) :wink: :) Loki, No Problem, I Really enjoyed having you all up here, I hope Mr Ed had a good time. Aloha and LLT, Queenie and Benella, Thanks for the kind words, you all can join up too! Yesterday I was hand sanding the "Dancer" and I felt this agonizing little Snap under my fingers. Peeking under the sand paper bore out my worst fears, the fellow had lost his head. It was an area that I had gotten too this and was the weakest part of the piece anyway with that dark streak running through it. Quickly back to the drawing boards and fortunately I had another piece waiting, just a bit thicker. Fortunately it happened to me and not the newly-weds, then I Really would have felt BAD. It was destined to happen anyway and I think the ancients had a hand in sabotaging my Dancer. It seems back about half way throuh his creation that I really thought he would look better Facing the Hula dancer instead of looking away from her as They're being Married you Know? Well he IS now Facing his Lovely dancing partner, hula girl, Bride to be! AND, since I have already done all the leg work and figured out how to do everything, this guy is going much faster and will be done within 5 days. I glued the headless one's pieces back together and will offer him framed on a box or something later. So it really is working out Better, I have 2 dancers instead of 1, The new dancer gets to properly face his dance/marriage partner as he should, and the wedding can start off with an unbroken dancer and a full life of bliss together forever. Here is the progress so far:
