hi all...a few carvings for you to have a look at...
waxwings in miniature size, It was great to do these birds small, nice to have a play with composition , rather than a single bird..will be doing a lot more this size, I have used a peg, to give you some idea of scale, these were carved out of lime (wood) and painted with acrylic paints...mark

Wow, to all three. Even more so when you realise the size of them.

The owl's my favourite.

I was just looking for news of Waxwing arrivals in the UK and came across this thread - your carvings really are amazing, they are beautiful.
