White Eagle - Finished

Wrapped this one up this morning with the painting of the robe designs.  I left the feathers loose so they and the earrings will move around if the piece is bumped but I wouldn't recommend that.  I tried a different paint mixture for the flesh tones on this one as he's a little more realistic than the others.  All in all I think he turned out pretty good.

Hope you like him and there are more photos in the Gallery.

  2. Just fantastic all the way around. I really like the loose feathers in his hair and the designs on the robe are very intricate and appropriate for this carving. Another good-un.

  5. Lynn,
    Outstanding work. Love the coloring in this one. I've got a question on your busts. How do you determine what size the bust should be depending on the size head you use? Is there a simple formula for figuring out the details so their more realistic in the measurements?

    Thanks for all you do to help out other carvers.

    Jim
