Hey, that looks cool!

It looks like the front hair curl is another chunk of wood that was glued onto the original carving, as I can see a seam between the 2 different wood pieces in the pic, but that was very creative and the overall look of the piece is great! Nice work!

thanks!!.....yes, the hair piece is separated after it is fully carved as one piece and then epoxyied on.....i finished this sample elviki rather hurriedly so i could post pics and start selling them.....i assure you the finished products will be alot cleaner without the seam showing, The reason the hair is cut off is so that the tips don't break in shipping on their way to me. If i didn't paint these, it was going to look weird with that parting line showing, so painting the hair and base made sense. It also kept it consistent with the previous elviki statues......
