Here's another figure done a lot smaller than I normally carve. He's about 7" tall not counting the base. Some people prefer this size over the larger ones although their a little harder to detail when working on a smaller scale. However, I have to admit they still make a nice looking piece.-
I did the eyes a little different on this fella. He has a sort of bug-eye look to him like he might be a little worried about coming out to the waiting wranglers with nothing more than a big pot of music makers. But, while he might look a little aprehensive he's a good Cookie and knows how to turn those Mexican BB's into a tasty treat so maybe they'll let him slide this time.

On a different subject, we're all packed up for the Kansas City show this weekend. That's a really good event to attend. Nice people and a nice venue. This time we're going to track down Arthur Bryant's place for some good KC BBQ.

P.S. The little Cook took First Place in the single caricature category at the Kansas City Show.
Lynn, you are amazing with you caricatures and your carving imagination. Cookie with his pot of beans certainly tells a good story. May you and Judy have a good time in KC and good luch at the show. TTYL Don Mertz
ReplyDeleteHow did you do the apron? It is so thin and the printing is so clear.
ReplyDeleteTom.....It's hand painted and although the edge of the apron might be thin it gets thicker as you go up.
ReplyDeleteLynn, congratulations on the blue ribbon. Well deserved and a great figure.
