Now I would say that those biscuits definitely had the correct measure of Baking Powder! So light....so fluffy...certainly different that the one's Mom used to make! And no....I'm not going to share the recipe! However, I will show you a few more photos of this little gem after the jump to the Gallery.-
As I said earlier, not to many caricature carvers try to portray the fairer sex except when they do it in what I consider a less than tasteful manner. That's too bad as I think there are really a lot of opportunities to have fun with this gender and still do it tastefully. I think that this piece does that. Granted, she does have some bodacious attributes but even they are displayed in such a manner that you wouldn't have to hide the carving when Mom comes for a visit.

In doing a female character the face is the hardest part for me. I think I've figured out just what one needs to do to get that feminine look and maybe in an upcoming post I'll show the steps I use to get it. There is still a little room for improvement in certain areas of the face but I'll try and correct that in future carvings.

So, go get your cup filled from that pot of coffee hanging over the firepit and set back and relax till Latigo Lil comes around with that plate of trail muffins. Just remember when she dips low to hand you one HANDS OFF!!!

More photos in the Gallery and as always, comments always welcome.
Lynn, if you keep at it you might turn into a real wood carver one of these days....of course I am offering you a reverse compliment in that you are already an imaginative and creative carver who mixes a sense of humor with you carving expertise and make such a significant contribution to the world of wood carving. There is only one "Lynn Doughty" as you certainly have made a name for yourself. It is always so much fun to visit your blog, so keep it up and "May your "Old Reliable" always be sharp and the chips knee high." Say "hi" to Judy for me. Don Mertz
