metalspinner;

Is it the smile or the eyes?
I tried to get the eyes to express the look on the face, I carved large eyes with colour in them.

I am sure you are married, was it her smile or her eyes that first caught your attention? ;) ;)

PS I still marvel at your turning with the brass in it, I will be trying that out soon!

Robert,
It was my wife's smile. ;)  Your horse's, too. :D
I do what the little voices in my wife's head tell me to do.

Swamp Donkey;

Here are pics of a simple rustic carving I show to first time carvers who come looking for basswood.

I carve them out of simple pieces of rustic wood like split rail fence or bass wood slab wood of the saw mill.



Perhaps this will get you carv'in :-*

I love the way you used the inner bark to create the hair and beard!  Very well done.

Great carvings Robert. Excellent. Yeah, that is clever to use the inner bark for the hair.  :)
