Jeff – the minis are working for me right now. I can satisfy my creative compulsion without taking up a lot of space.
Much appreciated BigT.
Grog –Revisiting Mila, I tried to exaggerate the facial contours and then closed her eyes. It seems to have sweetened her disposition a bit. I am always open to your advice on the facial expressions. Seems to me you know what you’re talking about. :wink:

More minis…all under a 12 inches tall.
Mini Marq.

Mini Marq Masks

Mini Moai

And started a mini Maori.

Here are #2 and #3 of the Dusky Phantoms. After I learn to carve women’s faces, I’m going to tackle carving hair on the males. :D

Using a hat is so much easier.

I also started on Phantoms #4 and #5.

And then finished up on #4.

Still in process on #5 and the last of the Dusky Phantoms...here is a progress shot.

While in our local art museum, I noticed my image in the reflective doors of the elevator. I had never taken a selfie before so I thought I’d try one.

That selfie gave me the idea to do a self portrait so started one of those. I’m pretty happy with the likeness so far. :P

Enough goofing around… back to tiki carving. :tiki:
